What about sharing them the link to [https://discuss.elastic.co/](https://discuss.elastic.co/)? ---

That would work ofc and I will do this if thats the only way but there is a [Badge](https://discuss.elastic.co/badges/25/promoter) for inviting others. So I would prefere this method 🙂 . I can't find the button that is mentioned by the description of the badge. ---

When you click [on your profile](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/defalt/summary), can't you see an "invite" button like here? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/9/c919494efc95c8936671320f8f45bd80fe19207f.png) ---

I'm searching but my guess is that you might need to be at another level to be able to send invite. ---

Thanks for your help. I also think that this is the problem. How can I level up? > [@How to send invitation to my friends for the elastic forum, so that I can claim Campaigner badge](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-send-invitation-to-my-friends-for-the-elastic-forum-so-that-i-can-claim-campaigner-badge/207431/6): > > Invites is a TL2 kind of thing: As a basic user you don't have access to the feature. @warkolm could bypass this in your case by bumping up your trust level in the admin console. ---

If I read it correctly, to get to level 2, you need: - How many topics a user must enter before promotion to trust level 2: **10** - How many posts a user must read before promotion to trust level 2: **50** - How many minutes a user must read posts before promotion to trust level 2: **60** - How many days a user must visit the site before promotion to trust level 2: **15** - How many likes a user must receive before promotion to trust level 2: **1** - How many likes a user must cast before promotion to trust level 2: **1** - How many topics user must reply to before promotion to trust level 2: **3** Here is your profile: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/f/3fe7e7efbc6d7855b106f6feae4e84aee2e26550.png) Sounds like it's just a matter of days so I'm going to manually add you. ---

Does this work now? [https://discuss.elastic.co/u/defalt/invited/](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/defalt/invited/) ---

@dadoonet Thanks for the level up. I just now completed the advanced discobot tutorial. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/6/d6671423a0f60711f989174a396827d3e65aa886.png) I still can't see the invite button but I can access your link without a "Access Denied" so I think thats a win? Maybe it needs a day for it to refresh? Thanks again for your help 🙂 ---
