Details

mod_invites_adhoc allows XMPP clients to create new invites on the server. Clients must support either XEP-0401 (Easy Onboarding) or XEP-0050 (Ad-hoc commands).

There are three types of invitation that can be created:

Invite type Description
Account-only invites These can be used to register a new account
Contact-only invites These can be shared with a contact so they can easily add you to their contact list
Account-and-contact invites Like a contact-only invite, but also allows the contact to register on the current server if they don’t already have an XMPP account

Only configured admins of the server are able to create account-only invites. By default normal users may only create contact-only invites, but account-and-contact invites can be enabled with the allow_user_invites option.

Configuration

Name Description Default
allow_user_invites Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to register on this server false
allow_contact_invites Whether non-admin users can invite contacts to their roster true

The allow_user_invites option should be set as desired. However it is strongly recommended to leave the other option (allow_contact_invites) at its default to provide the best user experience.
