Session Access

Access controls let you define who can start or join Sessions of a Space. Moreover, it lets you define how they should enter: whether directly, with authentication, or after host approval. Access controls are designed to support a variety of Use Cases, such as but not limited to:

Hosting private team meetings restricted to authorized members.
Running public webinars that collect participant names.
Allowing company-wide access for internal sessions.
Adding a host-controlled admission step for tighter control over who joins.

By combining Access Level, Identification Requirement, and an optional Admission Flow configurations, Space Owners can tailor Session access to meet the security, branding, or compliance needs of each Use Case.

Access Configuration

Access controls (all except Visibility) are available in the Space Settings (left) and in the Access section of the Session Editor (right).

Visibility

Define the visibility of the Space. If the toggle is enabled, the Space will be visible in the Space list for all Company Members. When disabled, the Space will only be visible to Space Members.

Access Control

Define the overall ability to join a session.

Public – Anyone with the link can view/join
Members only – Only space members and admins
Company – All users verified as part of the company

Identification

Define whether and how users identify themselves before joining, only available when Access Control is set to Public.

Anonymous – No identification required
Name required – User name input required
Verified – Identity must be verified (e.g., Google, GitHub, etc.)

Host Rights

Define who can become a host of the session on Session start and when the active host leaves the Session.

Everyone
Only space members and admins
Only space admins

Admission Required

Optionally toggle host approval before users can join a Session. Useful for sensitive or high-profile sessions where host gatekeeping is preferred.

Available on Space Members page only.

Together, these controls give hosts the ability to manage privacy, security, and participant visibility — all without needing to configure every Session manually.
