Hi All, could anyone point me in the direction of a way to invite other users to join my project group (‘Australia’s Untold Roadtoll - Recording Roadkill’ for anyone who wants to join!)  
I do have it as an open setting group, but i would benefit from being able to specifically target some users who i think would be keen to participate also.

Just send them the project page and they can follow the “Join this project” link:

Or send them the join link directly: [https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/australia-s-untold-roadtoll-recording-roadkill/join](https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/australia-s-untold-roadtoll-recording-roadkill/join)

There used to be a specific requirement to invite people to projects before their observations could be added and you had a page to manage those invitations ([https://www.inaturalist.org/project\_invitations](https://www.inaturalist.org/project_invitations)). But people got annoyed with continuos invitations to new projects, so they changed it so that anyone can add observations to projects unless the observer has opted out.
