A rather small bug, but which had me confused for some time and could do the same for new users.

On sites using SSO that do not allow local email sign-ups, I believe that the Discourse system stops users from being able to send topic invites via email, only allowing members to tag other existing members by username

However, the alt-tag for the button continues to say:  
_“invite others to this topic via email or notifications”_

Is it possible to update this tag at the same time the site sets whether email invitations are allowed?

(As you can see, emails are not allowed in this instance)

Sounds like a good suggestion.

If you don’t want to wait for someone else to do that, all text is editable, so you can do a search for ‘invite others to this topic’ in customize to find that text and change it according to your whims!

yup, done - thanks!

However, it is a small additional customisation that should probably happen automatically when you switch between (so it does not get forgotten) - though no idea how often sites switch between allowing and not allowing local registration 😉
