1. A method for facilitating communication between users of a collaboration service on a private network, comprising:
receiving a request from a first client device to communicate with a second client device, the first client device corresponding to a registered user of the collaboration service, the second client device corresponding to a non-registered user of the collaboration service;
establishing a direct connection with the first client device, the direct connection enabling the first client device to use the collaboration service;
configuring and deploying a single-use application portal instance, the single-use application portal instance providing an indirect connection to use the collaboration service, wherein the single-use application portal instance is configured based on credentials associated with the non-registered user; and
providing a hyperlink to the second client device, the hyperlink being used by the second client device to connect to the single-use application portal instance using a web browser;
wherein:
the second client device, in response to selection of the hyperlink, automatically connects to the single-use application portal instance via a web browser being executed on the second client device;
the first client device and the second client device communicate over the private network using the collaboration service;
when the single-use application portal instance detects that the web browser has been closed by the second client device, the single-use application portal instance is deleted wherein the second client device can not send data to the application portal instance or receive data from the single-use application portal instance.
