+The invitation email includes a link to accept the invitation that looks like this:  <tt>/users/invitation/accept?invitation_token=abcd123</tt>. When clicked, the invited must set a password in order to accept its invitation. Note that if the invitation_token is not present or not valid, the invited is redirected to after_sign_out_path_for(resource_name).
+You can also overwrite after_sign_in_path_for and after_sign_out_path_for to customize your redirect hooks. More on {Devise's README}[http://github.com/plataformatec/devise], "Controller filters and helpers" section.
