Allow or ban certain e-mail domains from signing up to your network

Has been Published Published 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:
