I have an invite only site and I’m interested in growing my members by allowing my members to invite others. I understand there is the invite to topic feature, but is there a way for my users to send general invites?

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.
