Description

When invited into a Circles that have checked the option Members have to accept invitation, on the recipient side there is no way to accept/refuse the invitation (beside the notification).
The page have the same display as if the recipient was the one requesting a membership to the Circle:
- His/her membership is marked as 'Pending'
- A message saying that
Your request to join this circle is pending approval
The correct behavior would be to display a better message about 'Your have been invited [...]`, and in the member list a wa to accept/refuse the invitation.
This is the interesting part of the JSON returned by the backend when retrieving the member list:
