08/19/2025, 6:47 AMWhen I invite a user using the elements, I don't see the pending user show up in the list. I swear I saw this working before and I can see that UX in the user invitations inside permit itself.
Is there a config for this somewhere that I'm missing?

08/19/2025, 6:47 AMWhen you invite a user through Permit Elements, the invited user needs to be approved before they appear in the user list (1) . The documentation shows that after inviting a user, they receive an email with an approval link containing an
invite_code Copy code
await permit.api.users.approve(
user_key="new_user",
email="<mailto:new-user@example.com|new-user@example.com>",
invite_code="ed32bc43e2194a80a5ef5e0339943b44"

I am confused why when I invite a user, that user doesn't show up in the list of users in the elements in a pending state, like it does when you invite a user to permit.
Or -- indicate pending invites in some other way.
I swear I saw this working at one point but I can't figure out how to reenable

08/19/2025, 7:21 AMI'm expecting a UX like this or similar. Where the pending user is showed grey.
I think I saw a version of this where the pending user was a small dropdown on the top or something. Can't quite remember when / how I saw this

08/19/2025, 7:22 AMAh the other UX was the request flow. So not relevant.
But I do expect to be able to see pending invites in these user lists

08/19/2025, 2:24 PMHey @Abe Clark, the user does not show up as "pending" in this list. The API call that the iframe makes is actually to create the user in the tenant with the role you select. Check out the screenshots.

08/19/2025, 4:21 PM@Thomas I just invited another email of mine. I have not opened the invite or clicked it.
My greyed out user showed up immediately after sending the invite.
This is the expected behavior from a user list component like this.
Otherwise there is no UX feedback to tell the user that the request was successful nor to let them know that the request is still pending

08/19/2025, 5:40 PMOk -- if I understand correctly, you're telling me that seeing pending invitations isn't currently supported by elements?
If so -- I strongly recommend aligning that UX / enabling in elements. It's table stakes for this sort of interface
