[image](Superseded) Multiple Use Invite Links [Screen Shot 2020-06-09 at 23.14.58] Screen Shot 2020-06-09 at 23.14.581350×1210 74.7 KB Please I would like to know how to change the ‘You were invited by:’ user. I want it to be an invitation from the system because it doesn’t represent one individual. The invitation is from the community. This is very critical. Thank you! (:

[image] gassim: I want it to be an invitation from the system You can impersonate system from the /admin/user page.

It actually hides the impersonate for system and the only thing you can see is: [image] Maybe there’s something I can change in the settings, thanks!

Hmm. Where are you hosted? If it’s with Discourse.org then you might email support. I tested on a recently upgraded self-hosted install before I made the recommendation and my screen looks like: [image] And then I clicked it and became system. I didn’t create an invite, though.

Thanks! I will contact the responsible person for these site settings. :+1:

If you’re a moderator and not an admin, then that explains it. Of course you can’t impersonate a user with more privileges than you have.

I think its only the sysadmin/developer email in the app.yml that can impersonate the system? I’ve just given admin rights to a test user, and they don’t get the impersonate option for system.

[image] JammyDodger: I think its only the sysadmin/developer email in the app.yml that can impersonate the system Sounds right. I forget that developer is different, as it’s most often the way that I get admin access.

Okay thank you, I will look into that! I appreciate your help! :folded_hands: So if I’m able to impersonate System, will I be able to change the owner of the invite links? It’s better than creating the links all over again and adding them back to context! Thanks in advance!

[image] gassim: So if I’m able to impersonate System, will I be able to change the owner of the invite links? No. You would be able to create links as System. I don’t think that you can easily change their owner. Given that I’m right, you’d need to do it at the rails console. If there are many of them, then you’d need to see Administrative Bulk Operations for some clues on how to do some things in bulk. I doubt that there’s an exact example, though.

Thanks! (: I think it’d be a good and helpful #feature if we could change the owner (just like when we are allowed to change post ownership).

This is why I’m using invitation links because that’s what it is supposed to do:
