I understand that disabling invites [is intended behaviour](https://meta.discourse.org/t/we-cant-invite-users-in-our-invite-only-instance-with-local-accounts-disabled/17202/9) when local logins are disabled, but it seems to have the knock on effect of removing any way to add a new user to a PM:

Fixed via:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/9f8d6b6088912295421ebd04cf865677868a45ab](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/9f8d6b6088912295421ebd04cf865677868a45ab)

Also note that now user will also be able to [invite _existing users_ to a topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-invitation-poking-a-user-to-a-topic-is-now-live/27180) when local logins are disabled.
