Had a similar issue a week ago and we had to delete the user, recreate him and send a new invite on each occasion.  It worked on our last attempt!  Technology misbehaves sometimes!

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, finance-bandalab. I'll share details on how user invitation works in QuickBooks. Let's also perform steps so your boss can access the link and accept it without issue.

 

When you add a user in QuickBooks, the invites expire after 48 hours. The added person must access the invite link within the specified time frame. That could be the reason your boss receives an error message stating that the feature you requested is temporarily unavailable.

 

Instead of resending the invitation, I recommend deleting the user and adding them again, as GeorgeKen1956 did. Then, a new invitation will be sent to your boss.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend advising your boss to access the invitation link on a private browser. Then, accept it from there. This is to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue that might cause you to keep getting an unexpected error.

 

Use these keyboard shortcuts based on the browser you're using:

 

  • For Firefox or Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N.

 

If it works in incognito, your boos need to clear the cache of the regular browser. This removes the history or log of sites so you can start with a clean slate. If the steps above don't work, use another supported browser as an alternative.

 

Lastly, you can open this article if you need more details about user roles and how to manage them: User roles and access rights in QuickBooks Online.
