Only approve signups from those who have not used an invitation link?

What setting will allow us to only manually approve signups from those who have not used an invitation link?

We want to manually approve new signups from random people who stumble on our discourse site, but for those who are invited, we want them to go on without approval.

I only see a setting for “Staff must approve all new user accounts before they are allowed to access the site”. I only want to approve those who have not used an invitation link.

Is that possible?

When the must approve users site setting is enabled, users who have been invited to the site by a staff member are automatically approved. Enabling that setting and making sure the users you want to be able to access the site without staff approval are invited to the site by a staff member should solve the problem.
