Who can invite new users? Can I configure that?

[Remah (Just another happy Discourse user)]

How to limit invites to admins

Setting max_invites_per_day to 0 will disable invites for all users except staff (admins and moderators). I remember making staff immune to max_invites_per_day setting via: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/4d593d1c186326ed6c4733a3bbe7cf1de04f62fd

Okay let me explain when all the invites won’t work for a user. If user’s maximum invites per day is reached. (staff are immune to this limitation) If SSO enabled. If local logins are disabled. If must approve users setting enabled. (staff are immune to this limitation) If user has trust level below 2. (staff are immune to this limitation)
