Allow or ban certain e-mail domains from signing up to your network
Published by: Tom on Tuesday 21st October 2008
- You can choose if you would like to solely allow one e-mail domain to sign-up to your site, for instance if you only want students and teachers at your school to sign up to your network.
- You can also do the opposite, and ban certain e-mail domains, for instance the domain of a rival business.
- To do either of these actions, go to your admin centre, which can be accessed via your sidebar, or at http://my.socialgo.com.
- Click on the 'Access Settings' box.
- Once inside 'Access Settings', go to the block titled "Limit registration by domain"
- To allow only one e-mail domain, type in the domain, i.e. 'myschool.com'
- To ban a domain, type in the domain with an exclamation mark infront of it, for instance, "!hotmail.com"
- Don't forget to click 'Save Changes' to save your settings.
- Now, if someone tries to sign-up with an e-mail address you have banned, the user will see this message:

Set up access settings for your network
Published by: Tom on Tuesday 16th September 2008
- As the network owner, you can set various levels of security for a member to sign-up.
- You can approve members, so that before someone can access the site, you must approve their sign-up request. This is useful when you want to individually decide who can be a member of your network.
- You can also set up a password for people to use to join your network. This is useful for when you wish to have a slight degree of exclusivity, but also want users to be able to sign-up and access the site right away - as long as the know the password!
- To change your access settings, you can do so by going to your admin centre, which can be accessed via your sidebar, or at http://my.socialgo.com.
- Once inside your admin centre, click on the 'Access Settings' section.
- The first option when you enter the 'Access Settings' section, is to set up an 'Access Code'. You can create a code of your choice, which users must enter on the sign up form in order to access your network, as seen here:
- Click on the tickbox next to "Access code ".
- Type your access code in to the box, and then either click 'Save Changes', or you can also decide if you'd like to make new members subject to approval by you or a moderator.
- This means that when a user signs up to your network, before being able to access the network, you or a moderator will have to approve (or deny) their request from the moderation section of your sidebar.
- Once you've chosen to add an access code, to require approval, or both options, you must press the 'Save Changes' button to save your settings.
- If you have set your network to 'Require Approval' for new members, then you will find their requests in your sidebar (as will any moderators you have elected on your site) as seen here:
