Hi,  
im using Mattermost Team Edition 5.20.1 and I would like to ask if it is possible to set that only the administrator can invite users to the team?

documentation says  
" This feature’s `config.json` setting is `"RestrictTeamInvite": "all"` with options `"all"` , `"team_admin"` , and `"system_admin"` for the above settings, respectively."

but i can also see:  
Enable sending team invites from  
_Removed in June 16, 2018 release_

I tried and it actually doesn’t work  
is there a method that solves my problem?  
thanks for the help

I believe that permission has been replaced by Advanced Permissions, but it’s only available in E10 / E20: [https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/advanced-permissions.html](https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/advanced-permissions.html).

I’m afraid of that, but I’m waiting, because maybe someone has a different solution

thanks 🙂

Hello, @luka

Sharing my finding here as well. Based on the [official documentation](https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#enable-sending-team-invites-from), I can confirm that the `RestrictTeamInvite` parameter is no longer applicable in version **5.20.1**. I have manually attempted to play around with the value but the way to make this work now is via **Advanced Permissions** which is available via the enterprise offerings E10 & E20.
