      Issue Summary

      Environment

      Jira or Confluence Cloud

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to the User Management area
      2. un-tick the box for Users can invite others
      3. With this functionality disabled, regular users can still invite other people and this invitation will not grant access but send an access request to the site-admins

      Expected Results

      With this functionality disabled, regular users cannot invite other users at all

      Actual Results

      Regular users can still invite other users, but these newly invited users will not have access directly granted. An access request will be created for site-admins to approve

      Workaround

      No workaround available.

            [ID-6734] Disabling the _Users can invite others_ tickbox still allows regular users to invite other people

            it seems that this functionality will be disabled here:

            https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ID-6682

             

            Does not make sense that any current user can invite to others (even external to the organization) if the company has other policy to add users to Atlassian products. For example someone has to do the request for a contractor and someone has to approve, before the Jira admin add that people to the site.

            That "expected behaviour" should be reconsider.

            Terrible feature. Users should not be able to invite users whether it goes to admin or not.

            Very bad still today we need to create rules in our mail service because Atlassian cannot allow a simple thing like block invitation, even on SAML verified accounts.

            Agreed with Leigh. this needs more thought than being closed. You should at least have the ability to disable all invite functionality from base users

            This is a pretty crappy "feature" to be honest and you should be able to switch this off.

            We invite specific client contacts to collaborate in our environments. Now they have the ability to invite their friends along and us in IT will start getting random requests to add people we aren't aware of.
