Can I allow some entrants and not others into a program?

There are a few solutions for this requirement depending on your needs:

• Limit registration by email domain
• Deactivate general registration and invite or import your list of entrants
• Set up an eligibility screener to only allow those that meet your criteria to complete an entry

For instructions on each of these methods, see the sections below. 

Limit registration by email domain

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Users > Registration
2. Under the 'Registration' heading add your supported email domains to the Registration only accepted from specific email domains field
   Tip: if multiple domains are supported, add them on separate lines as shown below
   
3. Save

Deactivate registration

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Users > Registration
2. Under the 'Registration' heading, deselect the Enable user registration checkbox
   
3. Save

With the registration form deactivated, only users who are already registered will be able to log in. However, you may still need to manually add your users to your program. You can do this by importing or inviting your users. For instructions on how to do this, check out our Adding users article.

Configure an eligibility screener

If you would like for registration to be open to all, but limit the total number of submitted applications to those who meet your criteria, you can configure an eligibility screener. For a full set of instructions on configuring this check, see our dedicated guide: Configure an eligibility screener.
