Close signups for a private beta

Close public signups during a beta so a new account can only be created with an invite code.

Before you start

• You must be a platform admin.
• This is separate from team invitations. Team invitations add a manager or tenant to an account that already exists. Beta invite codes control whether a brand-new account can be created at all.
• The default state is open. Nothing changes until you turn this on.

Close signups

1. Open the platform admin console.
2. Open the Platform config tab.
3. In Launch controls, turn on Private beta (signups closed).
4. Save.

Once this is on, anyone trying to sign up sees a private-beta notice and must enter a valid invite code. People who already have an account sign in normally. The marketing pages are unchanged.

Create invite codes

1. In the same Platform config tab, find the Beta invites section.
2. Optionally add a label so you remember who the code is for.
3. Set how many accounts the code may create (1 for a single person, more for a batch).
4. Optionally set an expiry date.
5. Select Create invite. Use Copy to grab the code and share it.

A code can be single use or multi use. A code can never be redeemed more times than its limit, even if several people try at once.

Revoke a code

Select Revoke next to any code to turn it off right away. Revoked, expired, and used-up codes can no longer create accounts.

Reopen signups

Turn off Private beta in Launch controls and Save. You can also control the default from the SIGNUPS_OPEN environment variable. It defaults to open unless it is set to false. An explicit choice in the admin console always wins over the environment variable.

Good to know

• Both signup paths are covered. The gate applies to email and password signups and to Google sign-in for new accounts.
• The check is enforced on the server, so the code cannot be skipped from the browser.
