Hello @Leaderboard

I think you’ve just discovered a genuine bug

I’ve made a fix for it here

github.com/discourse/discourse

FIX: Allow logged-in users to redeem invites when new registrations are disabled (#42026)

Previously, when `allow_new_registrations` was disabled, `InvitesController` blo…cked every visitor to an invite link, including already-registered users, who saw a "new account registrations not allowed" error even though they were not creating an account. This change skips the registration guard for logged-in users, so existing users can accept invites (for example, to join a group) while new-account signup stays closed.
