How to invite a user to an app through the Cosync REST API #

Invite a handle into the app. This function is used by a user who is logged into the app to invite another outside user into the app. The login used to restrict which users are allowed to invite other users into the app, should be implemented by the app itself. The header of this function call must include the access-token of the logged in user who does the invite. The inviting user can also pass a JSON string of metaData that is passed to the invited user at the time or registration into the app. This meta data gets set in the invited user JWT meta data section. This meta data will combine with the users meta data at the time of registration. The call must include the senderUserId, which is the MongoDB App Service user id of the sending user - this is different from the email handle of the sending user.

This function will cause the CoSync Auth service to send a six digit verification code to the email/phone handle for verification.
