I think it is one line fix here: https://github.com/gitpod-io/vscode/blob/gp-code/extensions/gitpod-web/src/extension.ts#L121

i.e., it should be context.user not context.owner.

But we need to get #5107 first merged

We need to discuss how we can get for an invited user. I don't think there is a way right now.

It's unclear how much of a problem this is. Next step is to add analytics to controlAdmission, and to track cases where people actually join a shared workspace. We do this to find out how much workspace sharing is actually used.

Removing from groundwork for now.
