I’m configuring a private Discourse forum and would like to restrict the ability to send invites, such that only admins have that ability. I’m not using SSO. What settings should I use to prevent all non-admin members from being able to send invites, regardless of their trust level?

Well this is weird… we were having a discussion about this the other day and I was led to believe that invites where intrinsically admin-only (/me raises a quizzical eyebrow at @blake ) . I’m a non-admin on only a couple of Discourse sites, and I can’t easily find a way to invite someone on those. …

If you go into settings: /admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=invite you can set the 'default invitee trust level` and crank it up to 4. There is not a “staff only” setting that I’m aware of, but if you also check ‘must approve users’ this will ensure that if they aren’t invited by a sta…

Invites are allowed to trust level 2 and higher as I recall.

That item sounds like it does something else, unless the label is just confusing. The label on the left says “default invitee trust level,” which would refer to the user receiving the invitation, and the label below the dropdown box says “Default trust level (0-4) for invited users,” which I’m guess…

I’m using Discourse for a private membership forum for a club, so only the admin should be permitted to invite new members in (to ensure that invites are sent only to current club members). The forum is for club members only, so we wouldn’t want members inviting non-members to join. Think of it lik…

I am in the same situation, a members only. For one reason or another we can not get SSO to work on our main site, hence the need to restrict invites. I want to exclude everyone (incl, moderators) apart from the forum admins. Is there a way to do this?

Any updates on this? This is a fundamental feature for a private forum.

Definir max_invites_per_day como 0 desativará convites para todos os usuários, exceto para a equipe (administradores e moderadores). Lembro-me de ter tornado a equipe imune à configuração max_invites_per_day por meio de:
