Joining by domain
Once you verify your company's email domain, colleagues who sign in with it can join by themselves; until then, invite them.
A company organisation can let anyone who signs in with its email domain join as a member, without an invitation. First an owner proves the domain is the company's, with a record in its DNS. Until then, nobody joins by their email alone: someone else can't claim your company just by signing up with its domain first.
Verify your domain
- In the web app, open Organisation (you need to be an owner).
- At the foot of People, choose Verify the domain.
- At your DNS provider, add the TXT record shown, on the domain itself (host
@). - Back in the web app, choose Check it. Showreel Studio asks your domain's own nameservers, so the record counts as soon as your DNS provider publishes it. Some providers take a few minutes to publish: if the check doesn't find it, try again shortly.
Once it's verified, the page says domain verified, and verifying goes in the organisation's activity log. One organisation can verify a domain.
Turn joining on or off
Once the domain is verified:
- Open Organisation.
- At the foot of People, find Anyone signing in with an @yourdomain address joins as a member.
- Tick or untick on.
Owners and admins can change it.
When the domain isn't verified, or joining is off
Only invited people join. Before the domain is verified, someone from your domain who signs in without an invitation gets an organisation of their own; invite them to bring them in. Once it's verified but joining is off, they're told your organisation admits only the people it invites. See Invite people.
Personal organisations
A personal organisation, for a Gmail or similar address, always admits only the people it invites. People who share a public email provider are not colleagues, so this cannot be turned on.
