Reinviting org members thorugh API does not support reinstating privileges

https://github.com/github/platform-samples/blob/master/api/powershell/invite_members_to_org.ps1

So through the GUI if you invite users who have been part of the org recently, you get these options to reinstate privileges which is great


I checked the network tab and it makes a POST request towards
https://github.com/orgs/equinor/invitations?invitee_id=&role=reinstate

This doesn’t seem to happen / be available when making the call through the API though
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/orgs#create-an-organization-invitation

We tested removing a user, inviting them through the script. The invite works, but the privileges are not reinstated. The person had lost access to their repos + starred equinor repos (assuming this is because he lost repo access, assuming also access to Github teams etc.

Since this isn’t supported through the API call, I assume this also means that the SCIM provisioning which re-invites removed org members also makes them start fresh, which is sub-optimal for our use case.

I’ve also had reports earlier that re-instated members also have had their personal access tokens / ssh keys “lost”, which probably means they mean have been de-authortized from using SSO to the org. I have not verified if or when this happens myself.

Start with api/powershell/invite_members_to_org.ps1 and the linked REST documentation for creating organization invitations. Compare the script/API behavior with the GUI request using role=reinstate, then verify whether reinstated members retain repository and organization access. Done means the supported API path and its effect on reinstated privileges are documented or implemented.
