As of today, our Invitation API endpoint has been deprecated. It will be [formally retired](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-product-lifecycle#product-or-feature-retirement) on January 22, 2018. Our new [Invitations API endpoint](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/api/account/invitations/) becomes [generally available](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-product-lifecycle#general-availability) today. It offers the same functionality as the deprecated Invitation endpoint and specifically adds support for bulk invitation operations as well as the ability to create invitations granting engineers limited service permissions.
