Unable to add a Friend to my Message Room via Email

[#1]

Hi!,

I'm currently on a conversation with a client and suggested them to add my friend as well in the project as they are an expert in that particular topic.

They suggested that I add them to the Message Room so that the discussion could be started between us but everytime I try to add them via Email i get an

I don't have permission to add a user by email

Can you please help in adding them to my message room?

Thanks!
