Collaborator invitation "accepted" email

I noticed that when inviting a collaborator to a document in box, I receive an email right away that advises the collaborator has accepted my invitation, when in fact they have not accepted it. Any idea why?

Thanks!

    Hi Hank, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    This is expected when the user chose to enable "auto-accept invitations" in their Box account settings:

    Hi France, thanks for the fast response.

    Is there a global enterprise setting that can be turned off for all users, or is this something that must be unchecked by each user individually?

    Hi Hank, 

    At present, there is no global setting to allow the admins in enabling/ disabling this feature in the Admin Console.

    Users will need to go to their Account Settings page to manually disable/enable this option. 

    If this is something you would like to be able to do as an admin, I would highly recommend submitting this as a feature request at pulse.box.com!

    Thanks for the follow-up. Yes I would think this should be controllable by an enterprise setting. If only controlled by the individual user account settings, it seems logical the default be unchecked rather than checked.

    Hi, I invited a client to register. Why am I getting an automatic notification that the client accepted the invitation immediately?

    Hi Wilfred,

    As France mentioned above, this is a user account setting that is on by default.
