Hi! We have a forum where the accounts come from another website (SSO), so new registrations are disabled. Despite this, the “Invite” feature is still showing for our members. ☹ I tried changing the min trust level to allow invite to TL4s, to minimize the number of people who see this feature, but the button is still shown to TL1-3s anyway:

When they try to use the feature, an error is shown:

Is it possible to completely remove this feature from view, if the user doesn’t have access to it? Maybe I’m missing something. 😅

Good catch! This is a bug that I am able to reproduce. If you are not allowed to invite, you should not see the invite button on the topic share popup. We’ll get this fixed!
