    Limitation

    In order for the Invite link to work, you must have enabled the account activation "invitation only" option at Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Membership Administration > Configuration > Account Settings > Registration Settings.

    Where it works

    This widget works in the site-level header section of the Edit page functionality. By placing it in the site level header, you assure that users can view this widget on all pages.
