I am testing this on 2.7.0.beta9 but I see no option for “invites” on the users profile page, although the tested users have trust level 2. Aside from that, the normal invites by moderation/admin works. Did I miss some basic config needed to allow “user to user” invites?

Hi Thommie! Can you verify the min trust level to allow invite admin setting has not been changed from the default which is trust level 2?

I’ve not seen this issue before. I suspect it has to do with some other admin setting you have changed, like invite only or allow new registrations. This is not likely the cause, but did you rename your trust level groups? [Screen Shot 2021-05-18 at 6.54.39 AM] Here’s how it looks on my site, wi…

Well then, there it is! :sparkles: @dan what are your thoughts? Does it make sense for the must approve users admin setting to affect the ability of trusted users to invite people?

I do not think it makes sense for invites to be disabled if must approve users is enabled. I am surprised this did not come up before this because it has been this way since the first versions of Discourse. I started working on a PR to fix this. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13257
