When no default invitation is set, new users who arrive at your organization's registration page are registered as platform users but are **not** automatically added to your organization. They will have no organization membership and no roles until an administrator adds them or they accept an invitation link.

{{< alert type="info" title="Two ways to designate the open signup invitation" >}}
An organization's open signup invitation can be set in two places: the invitation picker in **Edit Organization**, or the `isDefault` setting on the invitation itself.

The **Edit Organization** selection takes precedence. The `isDefault` marker is used when no selection has been made there, or when the invitation that selection points at no longer exists.
{{< /alert >}}

{{< alert type="info" title="Roles are not assigned automatically" >}}
When a user joins an organization via invitation, they receive only the roles explicitly listed on that invitation. If the invitation has no roles configured, the user joins with no role. Use the `roles` field on each invitation to ensure new members receive the correct initial permissions.

Clarify the permission scope.

The phrase “editing any other property of an invitation does not” can be read as “does not require the Manage Invitations permission.” The stated behavior only requires that other edits leave isDefault unchanged. Rewrite this sentence to avoid documenting an unverified permission rule.

Suggested wording 
-| `isDefault` | ... Turning this setting on **or off** requires the **Manage Invitations** permission; editing any other property of an invitation does not, and leaves the setting as it was. |
+| `isDefault` | ... Turning this setting on **or off** requires the **Manage Invitations** permission. Editing any other property of an invitation leaves this setting unchanged. |

other invitation properties leaves the setting unchanged, without asserting
whether those edits require the Manage Invitations permission; preserve the
documented permission requirement for turning isDefault on or off.
