How Do I Give Access to Spaces and Not the Network?

Learn how to use limited memberships to give access to Spaces and not your Network

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Limited memberships let you offer a standalone experience—such as a course, live event, or lead magnet—inside one Space or several Spaces without giving people full access to your Network.

By limiting access to Network-level features like private messaging, the Global Feed, and Global Members, you can:

  • Keep your broader community gated, exclusive, or reserved for paying members.

  • Use individual Spaces as entry points to generate leads and interest without opening your entire Network.

  • Sell programs or experiences on their own while keeping your full community experience separate for members on higher-tier plans.



Check out the article, What is a Full vs. Limited Membership? for more information on what a limited member has access to.

How to Set Up a Limited Membership

  • Create the Space or Spaces you want to include in your limited membership.

  • Go to Admin > Plan List and click the + icon to create a new plan.
    Limited memberships must be offered through a plan—not through invites.

  • In Plan Details, add the Space(s) you want to include.
    Do not add Network access. Limited memberships only grant access to specific Spaces.

  • Decide whether you want the plan to require payment, screening questions, and/or approval.

  • For more information on these settings, see our article on setting up a plan.

Choose Where Your Plan Appears

After creating your plan, decide where it should appear. Selecting any of these options makes the plan visible instead of hidden:

  • Network / Space Landing Page

  • Collection Page

  • Space About Page

Making a plan visible—or creating Share Links—activates the plan. When a plan becomes active, any Spaces included in the plan will automatically switch from Invite-Only to Accessible Through Plans.
