Description (required)

Adds a dedicated guide for inviting people into a Kinde organization from your own application with the Management API, covering create, list, get, and revoke, plus send_email vs delivering invite_link yourself.

This change also:

  • Documents prerequisites (Allow invitations, invite application with an Application login URI) and the M2M scopes create:organization_invites, read:organization_invites, and delete:organization_invites.
  • Explains role keys vs role objects in the response, sender resolution when Kinde sends the email, listing/pagination filters, and that there is no resend endpoint.
  • Notes directory-sync and duplicate-member/pending-invite limits, and how invited users can sign up even when self sign-up is off.
  • Cross-links the new page from the org self-serve portal, access policies, add/edit users, and the invitations webhook docs, and clarifies when to use the webhook instead.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2d333

The documentation is generally mergeable, but it should clarify that an organization’s Allow registrations policy can still prevent invited users from signing up, and correct the machine-to-machine wording to avoid misleading readers.

A rabbit found a welcome trail,
With invite links in every detail.

Organization doors unlock the tale.

## Set up API access

Invitations use the Kinde Management API, so you need an authorized machine to machine (M2M) application. See [Set up Kinde Management API access](/developer-tools/kinde-api/connect-to-kinde-api/).

Use “machine-to-machine” as the compound modifier.

“Machine-to-machine” modifies “application.”

## What the invited person sees

When someone opens their invitation link, they land on the sign-up screen for your invite application with their details prefilled and their email address locked. Invited users can complete sign-up even when **Allow self sign-up** is switched off for the environment, which is what lets you run an invitation-only product.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

State the organization-level registration condition.

src/content/docs/authenticate/custom-configurations/invited-user-experience.mdx lines 43-44 state that organization-level Allow registrations still applies. An invitee can fail to sign up when that policy blocks registration, even if environment-level Allow self sign-up is disabled.
