Therefore users inside a group can have different statusses:

    • Users that declined your invitation have a label DECLINED behind their user name.
    • If you want to sent this user a new invitation again, remove this user first by clicking the red x and then start invitation procedure again.
  • 3. PENDING: those that have not reacted on your invitation and are no part of your community yet.
    • Users that have not reacted on your invitation have a label PENDING behind their user name.
    • These users are free to accept the invitation they have received by mail any time later on.
    • If you want to invite this user again, My Groups Application will reply with the message it has already sent an invitation and it is waiting for user to reply.
    • If the user can not find the email with the pending notification, delete this pending user by clicking the red x and then start invitation procedure again.
