Hello,

it is difficult to determine a solution to your problem from the stack trace alone since the identity of the problematic piece of content (on which the access denied error occurs) is not contained.
But, based on the stack trace, you have a manually configured content / folder rule somewhere which attempts to get the lock status of a Node on which the current user apparently has not the necessary permissions to view that information. Now <b>which</b> Node that is - or which action is executed - is the key to solving this issue.
This is something that only direct evaluation within the live system can provide.

Do you - by any chance - have disabled the default permission inheritance somwhere in the Data Dictionary? Since the invitation accesses elements in that directory, disabling permission inheritance can under some circumstances result in this error when normal users perform invitations.

Axel

hello, and thanks for your answer,
the problem is present on all sites that i create.
The Site Manager can invite internal user with no problem, but only administrator can invite external users.

I have not change permission inheritance and seems the same problem described in this thread:
