Error message

User id does not exist in 'LiteLLM_UserTable'. Fix this by creating user via `/user/new`.

What it means

HTTPException raised when creating an invitation link fails because the referenced user_id has no row in LiteLLM_UserTable (Prisma foreign-key violation on the invitation insert). The invited user must be created first via /user/new before an invitation can be issued.
