Inviting people to view and comment on a private company blog
-
I would like to invite around 30 of our company’s superintendents to view and be able to comment on blog posts on the blog that I am creating. However, when I go to invite people, it says that I can only invite a maximum of 10 people. Is there any way to increase this number? Thank you in advance for your help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no maximum number of total users. The 10 invitations at a time maximum is a spam prevention measure. Process them and then issue 10 more.
re: adding user access to a wordpress.com site
You can have either a public or a private WordPress.COM hosted blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. Contributors cannot upload images. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
User roles determine the access level or permissions of a person authorized (invited by an Administrator) to use a WordPress.com site. Please read User Roles very carefully https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
Nothing is off-limits for Administrators, including deleting the entire site. This is why we recommend having only one administrator per blog.
To change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-viewers-to-a-private-siteUsername accounts are required but registering blogs under them is not required.The invitees will have to register a WordPress.COM username account which requires an email address only, but does not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the blog.
If the person being invited to contribute to your blog does not already have one, he or she will have to register a WordPress.COM username account. He or she does not need to register a blog. There is a just a username please option. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here: https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
NOTE that as you have an account you would have to log out and clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies to witness the process as the invitees without accounts would experience it.
Upon receipt of the invitation, the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.
Invitees who do create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to log into wordpress.com, return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.
