How do I make a space members-only?

GR Grace Adeyemi 4 weeks ago Resolved

I want one space visible only to approved volunteers. I see visibility and join-policy settings — which combination gives me an approval-gated private space?

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

This is expected behavior, not a bug. The guard you are hitting is intentional — it protects against a class of mistakes that used to cause data loss.

If you need the other behavior, there is a documented filter you can hook to override it per site.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.
