1855	Provide access override for invited members of hidden groups	brettp		"(Copied from http://trac.elgg.org/elgg/ticket/1345)

Hello There is a bug when a user join a hidden group : To reproduce this bug, you create a new group. Edit it in order to change the visibility (field ""who can see this group). Set the visibility for the group (if your group name is ""test"", select ""Group: test"" item) and save. With your account invite a friend. When the friend try to join this group with the link gave in the email, he can not join the group. He have the following error message : ""can't join group""

In the action file join.php (in group plugin) the line following code get_entity($group_guid) return nothing because the connected user (the friend) haven't got the right access to load it.

How can I resolve this problem ?

Thanks for advance. Best regard"	Defect	closed	normal	Elgg 1.7	Groups		minor	fixed		brettp
