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. Where are you seeing invite functionality as a non-admin?
If you go into settings: 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 staff they can’t join unless they are approved by staff./admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=invite you can set the 'default invitee trust level` and crank it up to 4.
if you go to /admin/users/list/leader you can see everyone who has trust level 4.
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 guessing also means the same thing. So if I set that to level 4, wouldn’t that mean that newly invited users would get promoted to level 4 upon accepting the invite? If so, that’s definitely not what I want.
Would setting “max invites per day” = 0 also work? Wouldn’t that mean that no users except admins could send invites?
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 like a Toastmasters club. Members pay dues to be in the club. It wouldn’t make sense to allow anyone to invite non-members to join the club’s forum if they haven’t joined the club first.
Yes you are correct, sorry about that I totally read that wrong.
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?
Alguma atualização sobre isso? Esta é uma funcionalidade fundamental para um fórum privado.
Acho que isso deve funcionar para limitar os convites apenas à equipe. Você pode verificar isso, @techAPJ?
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:
Desculpe por trazer este tópico de volta à vida, mas existe uma maneira de definir que apenas administradores possam convidar?
Temos um fórum bloqueado, temos moderadores para gerenciar usuários, mas não queremos que eles lidem com convites.
No momento; todos os funcionários podem enviar convites, e funcionários incluem moderadores e administradores.
