Hi there,
We're doing internal tests and would like the ability to assign users (not moderators or staff members) the ability to access a private forum. At the moment I'm unable to find an option to invite users, and user accounts without admin rights are shown the "this forum is private" page. Is there a way users can submit requests or an option to invite end users to a forum?

Sure, just open forum settings, privacy page, and invite new users via email.

Hi, 
This option is available in private forums only.
You have just two private forums: Helpdesk and Chat. Select one of then ibn the administrative panel, then open "Privacy" page.
