If you have a private network where all sites are open to anyone with an account, but still want the ability to invite someone from outside and limit their access to a single site, then Network Restricted Members is for you.
This plugin was developed for our private P2 network, which is open to all company employees. However, we still wanted to be able to bring contractors and clients over without giving them access to everything on the network.
Network Restricted Members provides a user setting that allows multisite network administrators to restrict a user to the sites he or she is a member of.
