Description

When you create a new guest account and click on "Save and Share" on the guest account dialog:

The dialog stays open for 2-3 seconds. That's probably the time we need to create the user and send out the invitation. But the user has no feedback during this time, as a user you wonder if pressing "Save and Share" was successful and might try again.

To avoid this confusion it would be nice to have some feedback after pressing the button. For example disable the button (that the user can't press it a second time), change the label to "creating guest account..." and/or maybe a spinner.

Research direction

Start at the guest account dialog and trace the "Save and Share" button's handler. Verify how account creation and invitation progress are exposed, then ensure the dialog gives feedback during the 2–3 second operation and prevents duplicate submission.
