Platform access settings define whether access to the platform is managed (through admins and/or integrations), open (everyone can register), or closed.
⚙️ Where to change platform access
Admins can edit platform access in Settings > General.
In the section "Platform access", you can toggle access with:
Open
Managed
Closed
🔑 Platform access types
Managed platform
If your platform is set to Managed, you can add your learners:
Through integrations
Open platform
Open platforms allow anyone to register and access content. ✅ Content can be shared externally via public links.
Why use it:
Great for growing your learning community
Anyone can preview content and self-register
Visitors can see up to 3 templates before registering
Important:
On open platforms, an activity can be set to "private" in the activity details if you don't want to let unregistered users preview it.
🧩 Feature setup for open platforms
If you set the platform access to Open, you’ll need to configure additional settings under Settings > Features.
Go to Settings > Features
Find and enable Hide registration fields and click the settings button
Select the fields
Closed platform
When your platform is set to Closed, no one can register or access the platform unless they’ve already been added by an admin.
Why use it:
Ideal during initial setup or testing phases
Ensures only invited users can see the platform
Prevents any external or self-registration access
