#6011: Groups: When friends component is disabled, group invites do not work

     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  2.2
Component:  UX/UI         |    Version:  1.7
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:  has-patch
--------------------------+-----------------------
 On a default BP install, the groups and friends components are not auto-
 enabled.

 Let's say I decide to also enable Groups only.  When creating a group,
 there is mention of inviting users to a group:

 {{{
 * This is a hidden group

 - Only users who are invited can join the group.
 }}}

 {{{
 Group Invitations

 Which members of this group are allowed to invite others?

 - All group members
 - Group admins and mods only
 - Group admins only
 }}}

 However, group invites do not work without the friends component.  This
 isn't really an issue for public groups.  This is an issue for hidden
 groups and, to a lesser extent, private groups.

 `01.patch` simply removes the text outlined above when the friends
 component is disabled.  However, a hidden group without invite
 functionality is pretty much pointless.  So how do we want to solve this?
 Do we need to take a step back and re-examine the current group invite
 process?
