Note: at the time of this writing, once a museum is created, a Super Admin will need to create the invitation code to allow new Museum Application users to create an account.

[^1]: This is a JSON encoded string of keys and values. If you have a good working knowledge of this you can edit values directly here, but the easiest way is to allow the Museum Admin to do this through the Museum Application.
