We’ve redesigned the invite flow so you can invite someone as an admin in a single step, alongside a clearer experience for inviting members. It’s available today as the “Enable invite modal with roles” upcoming change.
What changes when the flag is on
The invite modal is redesigned with a Members / Admins toggle:
-
Invite members:
Choose how to invite: a shareable link (optionally restricted to an email domain) or an email invitation sent to a specific address. Secondary options (max uses, description, expiry, arrive at topic, add to groups) are tucked behind a gear button to keep the default form short. -
Invite admins:
Enter an email address and click Create & send. Admin invites are always single-use and restricted to that address. When the invitee accepts:- they become a moderator right away, so they can start helping immediately
- you receive the usual admin confirmation email; once you confirm, they become a full admin
-
After creating an invite you’ll see a summary of what was configured, with the link ready to copy or share. The invite type can’t be changed after creation.
-
The admin onboarding panel’s “Invite collaborators” step now opens this flow with the Admins tab preselected.

Turning on the new invite flow in your community
Navigate to the Upcoming changes page in your admin area (/admin/config/upcoming-changes). Locate the “Enable invite modal with roles” item and update the “Enabled for…” field to opt your community into the new experience. You can opt back out from the same page at any time.
