how does this work? don't you have to unlock the corpse in order to give looting privs if the person wasn't in group at time of kill?
No, if you invite a player to your group, they will be able to see everything in the advanced loot window. However, all the loot will be red for them. You will be able to assign the loot to them, but they will have to unlock the corpse to receive it.
For them to be able to loot, they must right click the corpse, or /loot it. The corpse will remain locked, but the loot will no longer be red for them and they can accept it in the loot window like anything else.
Note, there is a bug when doing this in a raid. Occasionally, if you raid invite someone and they are not in a group, they won't be able to see the loot in the advanced loot window. You are able to assign the loot to them, but they won't be able to accept it as they cannot see it. They will either have to wait for the corpse to unlock (~15 mins) or relog, get re-invited and hope the bug is fixed (usually is). So if you are ever a raid leader and need to assign loot, make sure you put them in a group first before assigning it.
