I have a private community where I invite customers to join. So I have their email after purchase, and I know it’s valid.

Is there a way to make the invitation process as simple as possible (SSO not being possible right now)?

This is how it works now:

- I send out an invitation to them
- the click the link, fill out their details and are logged in immediately (I see the user as “active” in the dashboard)
- they get another email with an “activation link” to click on (if they don’t, they can’t log in the next time)

Is it possible to deactivate the need for activation since I know their email is valid?

My customers are often older people, and they have problems with the whole process.

Any idea how to make this as simple as possible for them?

Thanks,  
Eddie

It has been discussed already below

> [@Disable "confirm your new account" activation email for invitees](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disable-confirm-your-new-account-activation-email-for-invitees/68859/3):

> Its complicated cause we allow for both invite links and invite emails. I agree that ideally we should not be sending a second verification if the invite already hit your inbox. There is no way to change default behavior atm

Now fixed per:

> [@Allow disabling activation email for invited users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/allow-disabling-activation-email-for-invited-users/88426/6):
>
> This is finally done. Users invited via email won’t receive another email to activate their account. Their email address will be marked as verified as soon as they accept the invite. Users invited via link won’t be logged in automatically after accepting the invite. They will get another email to verify their email address before they will be able to login.
