Can I restrict my help centre to certain email domains?

Updated 4 months ago

Browse All

Yes — you can limit your help centre to people who sign in with a work email on domains you approve. Visitors enter their email, get a magic link, and only addresses on your allowed list get through.

Prerequisites

  • You need access to the project's Settings page

More details

1

Open the Visibility settings

From your project, open Settings in the sidebar. Under Help centre, click Visibility.

2

Turn on domain-restricted access

Under Who can access your help centre, select Restricted to specific email domains. In Allowed email domains, enter the domains you want to allow, separated by commas (for example, acme.com, acme.co.uk).

3

Save your changes

Click Save visibility. Visitors who aren't on an approved domain will see a message asking them to use their work email.

Tips

  • Domain matching is case-insensitive — Example.com and example.com are treated the same.
  • Visitors on approved domains receive a secure sign-in link by email; the link expires after 15 minutes.

Summary

Domain-restricted visibility keeps your help centre private while still letting customers or employees on your approved domains read your docs.
