Set an admin email address (used as sender) in your app/_config/email.yml file:

SilverStripe\Control\Email\Email:
  admin_email:
    [e-mail]: 'Admin at example.com'

Force Required User Group Assignment

To require group selection when inviting users, add the following to your configuration:

To update the base template, use updateMainTemplates. It defaults to Page.

/**
 * @param array $mainTemplates
 */
public function updateMainTemplates(&$mainTemplates)
{
    array_unshift($mainTemplates, 'InvitationPage');
}

Redirect After Successful User Creation

Set a custom 'BackURL' to redirect users after completing signup from invitation:
