Hello, I'm trying to invite someone to Box, but I keep getting the message " Can't invite a deactivated user". 

 

How can I resolve this? 

Not sure how the user got deactivated.

Hi Claudia, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

This error appears when you're inviting a user with inactive Box account. Please note that for collaboration to work, you should invite a user with active Box account.

Thanks for posting!

Hello, I have the same question, the user is external, not a managed user.
