Topic: Problem inviting to stream
Torben M. Hagensen (Apr 23 2020 at 05:57):
I cannot invite members to a stream anymore with "Invite more users" or settings->"Invite users". Has anyone else experienced that problem or have knowledge of any changes made to the organization settings to disallow it?

If someone is a user, subscribing them to a stream works:

But "invite more users" doesn't seem to work (in Chrome).
Torben M. Hagensen (Apr 24 2020 at 09:16):
That is also what I see (Doesn't work in Edge either). I have tried to write to support, but they also just state that I can add existing users.
I can see from the documentation, that the organization admin can disable the invite feature. Does anyone know who is organization admin and if any adjustments has been made recently?

@Josh Mandel ?

@Tim Abbott is the one most likely to know what's going on here.
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 21:30):
I think the problem is that the administrators have created a stream that is a "default stream" - all new members are added that is also private; a bug in the handling this corner case means that the invitation widget is broken.
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 21:31):
The fix on your end is almost certainly to make the default, private stream no longer a default stream.

An organization administrator can do this here: https://chat.fhir.org/#organization/default-streams-list

I just get a blank page for that
Grahame Grieve (Apr 24 2020 at 23:12):
@Tim Abbott - that is both in the desktop client and in Chrome directly
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 23:41):
I guess the offending "default stream" is one you're not on, either. Let me see.
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 23:43):
OK, I've fixed the data problem -- the issue was that the problematic "default streams" were deactivated.
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 23:45):
So there should be nothing you need to do.
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 23:45):
And opened https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/14745 to track fixing the root issue here.
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 23:45):
Thanks for the report!
Tim Abbott (Apr 24 2020 at 23:46):
(There's an existing, separate issue, for the fact that this weird situation caused the "invite more users" and "default streams" UIs to not load properly)
