Full memberships provide access to your entire Network, while limited memberships offer access to a specific set of Spaces and features. Whether someone becomes a full or limited member depends on what their plans give access to.​ Limited memberships let you offer a standalone experience—such as a course, live event, or lead magnet—inside a single Space or a bundle of Spaces, without unlocking your full Network.​

Why Use Limited Memberships

By restricting access to Network-level Global Features—including private messaging, the Global Feed, or Global Members—you can:
  • Keep your broader community gated, exclusive, or reserved for paying members.
  • Use individual Spaces as entry points to introduce new people to your work.
  • Sell standalone programs or experiences while keeping your full community experience separate for those on a higher-tier plan.​

What Limited Members See

Here’s an example of what the limited member experience can look like:

Below is a detailed guide to the features accessible to each member type:

Important notes:
  • If you set your Network Privacy & Access settings to “anyone can view content inside the Network,” these definitions may shift because a limited member can see what a visitor/non-member sees (e.g. Collections with Spaces that anyone in the Network can see, promoted Spaces, etc.).
  • If you demote a full member to a limited member (by removing the Network from any of the Spaces they are on) they will lose access to their private chats and any of the Global Features. If you add the Network back and restore them to full membership, then they will be able to access their previous chat messages.
