Control who can invite people and Sidekicks

Control who can invite people and Sidekicks in Cortex Chat: practical steps, setting explanations, result checks and troubleshooting.

Invite people and Sidekicks is a group member permission. Separate administrator rights can control managing invitations and managing group Sidekicks. Group invitation control does not grant workspace-wide membership administration.

Before you start

Group identity, membership, welcome text, history policy and invitation rights are shared controls. They are different from a conversation background stored on one device. Owner and administrator capabilities can also differ: the interface exposes specific rights rather than making every administrator equivalent. Review the exact group and the current saved values before changing a shared setting. If an edit is blocked, the absent or disabled control may reflect a permission boundary. Refresh stale data rather than replacing a group to work around the problem. Removing a member, revoking an invitation, leaving the group and deleting the entire group each have a different effect.

Step-by-step

1. Open the intended group’s Edit group settings.
2. Review Invite people and Sidekicks and the applicable administrator rights.
3. Save the narrow policy intended for this group and confirm it before testing an invitation.

What the settings mean

Check the result

The people who should invite can do so in this group, without broader unintended access.

If it does not work

If a manager still cannot perform an action, inspect the exact group right and context instead of assuming every administrator role is identical.
