My users didn’t think it was very easy to find the button for inviting new users, but I’m find with that being something you have to learn. But, I was asked who can invite new users to the forum and I find myself unable to answer. I can’t find any information in the post about trust levels, nor the moderation guide. I’ve seen somewhere on my forum (can’t find it now) that only “trusted users” can invite others, but no mention of what constitutes a “trusted user” anywhere. This topic clarifies that you need to be trust level 2, but leaves the question of whether this can be configured open. Can it? Is it still trust level 2?

Yes, you need to be trust level 2 or staff to send invites. This isn’t configurable at the moment, so you’ll need to grant TL2 to any users who need to have this ability.

Here’s the link to the separate topic on this issue where the Discourse team plan to make this configurable in the site settings: [image] Please make tl for sending invites customisable Feature Discussed internally and we support adding 2 site setting in a PR (containing tests) min trust to allow invite min trust to allow pm invite Added #pr-welcome here in case the community want to fast track this, otherwise we will probably get to it in 2.5 or 2.6 There is some limited configuration already: [image] How to limit invites to admins Support Setting max_invites_per_day to 0 will disable invites for all users except staff (admins and moderators). I remember making staff immune to max_invites_per_day setting via: And if even TL2+ users are unable to create invites then here are some possible causes: [image] Better way for my users to invite others? Support Okay let me explain when all the invites won’t work for a user. If user’s maximum invites per day is reached. (staff are immune to this limitation) If SSO enabled. If local logins are disabled. If must approve users setting enabled. (staff are immune to this limitation) If user has trust level below 2. (staff are immune to this limitation)

This bumped just in time. Now this does not depend on the trust level anymore. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24893

Who can invite new users? Can I configure that?

I don’t understand why “trusted user” means tl2 or above for this, but tl3 and above for other things.
Can this not be changed so everything is the same? (Or made configurable would be even better! )
