If you send an invitation to join a group to a user who already has a CivicSpace account, the user will receive the following error message when trying to subscribe to the group using the subscribe URL provided:

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

See this subscription link for an ex:

http://beta.ironweedfilms.com/?q=/invite/3504/94/vic3NXVNhe/1

The same issue will occur if the user logs into the site and clicks the URL from their private message inbox

I believe, however, that the URL will work if you send the invitation to an anonymous user, but then you will run into defect 49239

http://drupal.org/node/49239

In this case the new user is not auto-subscribed to the group upon clicking the URL; she is just registered as a GJG user..

Assigning this to myself; this one will probably be more involved to track down so will start troubleshooting this first thing in the morning.

Priority: Critical » Normal

Since the exposure of this defect is lower (someone who invites others to join a group as a member would have to enter an email address that is already site registered) we decided to defer this one..
