Aurora: Invite members to a group

Group Owners and Community Administrators can start the invitation flow in the Manage Members page or from the Options menu of the Group page. Group Curators and Inviters can start the invitation flow from the Group page Options menu. Group users can send 50 invitations in an hour and up to 100 invitations in a day. Note that if you want to change these default configuration values, you must open a Support ticket.

For the community members, you can send the invitation via private message by specifying their usernames. To invite external users, you can send the invitation via email by specifying their email addresses. From the group settings, you can configure the mode of group invitations.
