Trouble with Invites to topics in categories with permission limits

Feature
1

I just ran into difficulties with invites. I created a category where I only want people with level 2 permissions to be able to reply to posts and level 3 permissions to create posts. I then created a topic and then invited someone who is not already a user on my discourse to ask them to reply to a topic I created in the category, and they are not able to reply because they only have basic permission.

This seems to be a bug to me, since the email received explicitly states “You were invited by a trusted user, so you’ll be able to post a reply immediately, without needing to log in.” It seems that is only true for invites to topics in categories where everyone can read/reply.

Cheers,

Tobias

We should just disable the button on topics that don’t have default permissions. There is no provision for auto-trust-level on invite, nor will there be.

That makes perfect sense to me if there is no plan for this.
