One thing our wiki software does which is quite helpful is allow a user to share a page/resource with another registered user via its internal notification system. This allows people in moderation-like roles (not necessarily an official moderator) to draw attention to something requiring attention to someone who can provide some assistance. Currently the only way to accomplish this is by @-mentioning someone. This may not be desirable especially if that person in the moderation-type role doesn’t have much to add. Perhaps adding something to the share feature that would create a Message to a user pointing them to the topic? (And allow that sender to add a few words about why they should look?) ---

Isn’t this what the invite button is supposed to do on the topic? ---

Yes, but as mentioned on this site, that is currently under development. ---

ok found it in the thread I linked to.. I think. > [@codinghorror](#): > > I am not against this (scope creeping invite button to work on existing users) for the record, but the mechanics would deserve some detailed discussion. Like everything else, there are … subtleties … that would cause problems if we don’t get it right. Making this topic, and #[24003](https://meta.discourse.org/t/invite-existing-user-to-thread/24003) both duplicates of #[12369](https://meta.discourse.org/t/invite-existing-user-to-a-topic/12369), I think ---

(Hmm, I replied to this by email but not sure where that email went.) Sadly, the invite feature isn’t available for those of us using SSO. (As such I have no idea what “invite” is or does.) ---
