I might be missing something, but when I invite someone to the target role, "and do not have selected that someone must 'opt-in,' which I assume means they have to check the box on their profile page that they want the role of "special," the invitee sees no notification of their invite so they don't know they have been given the new role.

I'm trying to use this for a role to test some new features, but I don't want every user to see a checkbox regarding the role and have to explain to them that some people get to test out new features. However, I do want people invited to know they have been invited and have a chance to respond. Is this possible?

Seconded. This would be a nice feature. The Buddylist module currently has such a function when you are added to someones buddylist. It simply prints a div called "messages status" saying a user has added you to his/her buddylist the next time they load the homepage. Or perhaps an email could be sent to notify the user?

is this module still being maintained?

Yes, njivy is the maintainer. I am sure that he is considering this feature request and perhaps will implement it in the future.

Hi guys. I'm back from Nevernever Land and am looking into this.

Would it be satisfactory if every user got an email notification when they were granted the target role by the module?

sure, that could work. It would be nice though if they knew who invited them if someone did invite them, so maybe that name could be in the emai?

I had planned to do this today but ran out of time. I did not forget! Thanks for your patience.

This feature was built in to the 4.6 version of the module, and therefore will definately be in 4.7 too.

Once I sorted out all the porting bugs, I will confirm whether it works as expected.

Regards,
