You will need at least the Link addon and, optionally, the Form addon if you wish for the user to edit their entry from the frontend rather than from their admin user profile page.

RE: I need a way to invite people to sign up for the directory.

Connections does not handle User invites of WP User registrations. You would need another plugin to do that. I can not think of any plugins which do user invitations. But you could a built in WP feature.

Create a new WP user, when you do, you have the option to send the user their password.

When this user logins in, they will be able to add their directory entry assuming you have installed/activate the Link addon for Connections.

I did do a quick web search and found this user invitation plugin:

(https://wordpress.org/plugins/invitation-based-registrations/)[https://wordpress.org/plugins/invitation-based-registrations/)

You could use it for the invitations and after the user registers they would be able to add their directory entry.

Hope this helps!
