With Virtually, you can specify exactly who is able to gain access to your events. (Not even Zoom does this!)

When creating events in Virtually, click 'Add event security' and you'll see a dropdown appear.

When you click ' Add event security' you'll see a drop down menu with the following options:

Here's what those options mean and what will happen:

Unrestricted: Anyone can join the event

If you select this option, anyone with access to the link will be able to get into your event. However, if they aren't in your member roster in your Virtually account, they will see a pop-up telling them that they're not in the system and therefore won't receive attendance credit. Those users will appear in your attendance report as guests.

Only members and invited guests can enter the event

If you select this option, for learners to access your event they'll need to be in your member database in your Virtually account. Anyone that enters an email not in your member database will be denied entry to your event.

Only invited guests can enter the event

If you select this option, only invited guests can access the event. That means, if you've invited the 'October 2021' tag to your event, they will be the only ones that can join. Other members in your member database or outside users will be denied entry.

The way we do this is by leveraging our event proxy page!
