Setting up team access controls
Step 1: Access your permissions settings
- Click the gear icon (Settings) from your homepage
- Under your team section, click Permissions
- Navigate to the Access tab
Step 2: Configure joining policies
Click the Who can join this team? dropdown and choose from:
- Only invited people can join
- Anyone with an [emaildomain] email can join
- Anyone with an [emaildomain] email can request to join
Step 3: Set leaving permissions
To protect your content when team members depart:
- Find the Who can leave this team? dropdown
- Choose between:
- Admins only (recommended for content security)
- Everyone (note: this means you can't control content transfer)
Step 4: Manage invite permissions
Under Who can invite new members? choose from:
- Everyone
- Members with admin approval
- Admins and brand designers
- Admins only
Heads up: Selecting "Everyone" means new team members will incur subscription charges.
How do you configure role-based access and email visibility?
Note that only team admins can modify team member roles, and only team admins and brand designers have publishing rights for Brand Templates.
To configure group creation and email visibility:
- Under Who can create groups?, select Everyone or Admins only.
- Under Who can view member emails?, select Everyone or Admins only.
