Auto Approval 

The community administrator can updated the auto approved domains as well as list the approved ip address in this settings.

Auto Approved Domains: Specify email domains whose users are automatically approved as new members without moderation.

Any member registering with a domain that is auto-approved in the workspace or community will receive a verification email with a code to verify themselves.

Clicking on the verify my email link will ask you to enter the code in the email and set your workspace or community profile.

When Email Domains Do Not Match Auto-Approval

Select an action to be taken when the email domains mentioned in auto approve list do not match. 

a. Moderate: Selecting this will put the user with the email address other than auto approved list, in a moderation queue. The moderator of the community will then have to approve or reject the user.

b. Approve: Selecting this will not affect existing members, but all future signups will follow the Auto-Approval rules.

c. Reject: Selecting this will mark all existing members as Banned and for new members will display an access prohibition message to the user who is trying to register with a non-approved email address. For example, if @mailinator.com has been blocklisted, it will receive the message as shown in the image below.

Mark all Existing Members as Pending :




If Moderate Access is selected under When Auto Approve list do not match dropdown, this option will appear. Setting up Blocklist and Auto Approve list is only applicable to the new registering members. The existing ones will still have access to the community regardless of their email domain. This setting updates the existing members as well and based on their email domain allows access to the community if the email domain matches the approved one. But if it does not match, the members will be put under moderator approval and will not have access to the community till the moderator approves them.

Approved IPs

IP based access restriction allows the community administrator to control access to the community based on IP (Internet Protocol) address. Only those users who access the community from the defined IP addresses are allowed to view and participate in the community.
