    I want to be able to auto-invite all my friends to my squad. I also want to be able to auto-invite a friend to my squad as soon as the friend logs in.

    I wouldn't mind an invite block exceptions list, where we can place friends etc on an exceptions list that allows them to send squad invites, but continue to auto-reject others.

    A squad-leader-managed permission to invite to the squad would require an array of player IDs. I think it sounds like an easy feature to add. I don't know what the source code is, but you would want to either add another column to the squad member table, or you would want to manage another array which has squad member player IDs that are allowed to invite players to the squad. I don't know how the interface works, but you would want to add to the squad leader member menu the option of adding or removing that member to the list, which could simply apply a plus sign icon in the player's entry row, next to the friend icon.

    My suggestion of auto-inviting all my friends to squad would simply work in the background: upon a friend connecting to the game, at the time that I have the option of seeing the fact that they logged in, the game would simply invite them to my squad if I am in a squad.

    Additionally, I would like a button that says "invite all friends to squad" similar to the invite outfit members to squad button. That way, when I start a squad and people are already in the game, I don't have to go down the whole list one at a time and click next to each friend list entry and choose "invite to squad".
