Customer invitations don’t support My Domain URLs or domains created with single sign-on or IP restrictions. To enable customer invitations with these features in place, we recommend one of these approaches:

- Customize the single sign-on page for your organization with an extra link redirecting users to https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/.
- Enable single sign-on for your customers.

When Chatter is enabled in your org, customer invitations are enabled by default. To disable customer invitations, go to Setup and enter Chatter in the Quick Find box. Select **Chatter Settings** and deselect **Allow Customer Invitations** in the Chatter Settings section. Disabling customer invitations doesn’t delete existing customers or groups that allow customers.
