Description
Description:
When inviting new users to a rocketchat instance , the user that is created gets:
- No username set
- No default channel assigned
- The channel where the invite link was generated is not assigned either
Without username it seems that the user cannot login and gets a "user blocked" error.
If I set the username afterwards manually, the user can login but is then not invited in the intended channel nor in the default channels.
Steps to reproduce:
- Generate invite link in any existing channel
- Give the link to somebody, have them register a new user account
- Attempt to log in
Expected behavior:
Users should be able to log in, granted access to the default channels and the channel where the invite link was generated.
Actual behavior:
Users can't login.
