• Can't share invitation links? Contact your Mattermost system admin for assistance. An SSL certificate (or a self-signed certificate) may be required for link-based invitations to work.
• When inviting guests, you must select at least one channel they can access. Guests are limited to the channels you specify and cannot discover other channels.
• An invite link can be used by anyone and doesn’t change unless it’s re-generated or revoked by a system admin or team admin via Team Settings > Access > Invite Code.
• Your system admin must enable email invitations and configure email for Mattermost to send email-based invitations.
  • Invitation links sent by email expire after 48 hours and can only be used once.
• When profile fields are managed by your system admin, email invitations may include fields to preset the invitee's name and username. These values are applied during signup and become admin-managed.
• Your system admin can cancel all email invitations that haven't yet been accepted within the System Console.
