6 years ago @jedkirby thanks for the feedback. Yes all of the steps in this doc should refer to the sandbox environment i.e., sandbox.bingads.microsoft.com. We will update the doc to make it more explicit. I want to make sure that I understand your repro for "the registration process it ask's me to verify the code sent to the email", because I've never run across it in sandbox. You invited the user from production, is that correct? You should never need to verify such a code if you go through the documented steps and use the sandbox.bingads.microsoft.com environment. Again, we will update the docs to clarify the environment.
Update: And yes, you would first sign up / create a sandbox customer/account without an MSA, and then invite a new user per the documented steps.

This issue is based around the following file: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/BingAds-docs/blob/master/BingAds/bingads-12/guides/sandbox.md.
Within the above file, there's a paragraph which is as follows:
It then goes on to say you need to invite a new user into the Bing Ads account, however, what it doesn't state is whether this should be done on a sandbox Bing Ads, or a production one.
If it's sandbox, which would make sense, are you meant to make a new Bing Ads account first so you're able to import users into that?
I've tried doing this with a production account, by inviting an account with an
@outlook.comemail address, follow the steps about clicking the link & create a new email address, using@outlook-int.comhowever, later on in the registration process it ask's me to verify the code sent to the email (Ending in@outlook-int.com), however, I don't have access to this account so i'm never able to verify / complete the process.Please could you advise / update your documentation to make this stage a little clearer.
