Who this is for: Owners and admins who want teammates from your company to join AnswerPath without waiting for a manual approval. Time: 1–2 minutes.
Lets you list email domains (like yourcompany.com) that AnswerPath should auto-approve. Anyone who signs up with an email in those domains joins your organization immediately as a Member — no pending-approval step.
Yes, turn it on when:
Your team uses a single, well-controlled email domain.
You want to remove friction for new joiners without creating individual invites.
You trust everyone inside that domain with Member-level access.
No, leave it off when:
You use a generic or widely-shared domain (e.g. gmail.com) — never auto-approve public email providers.
You have contractors or partners on your domain who shouldn't have access to everything.
Compliance requires a human approval step for new members.
In the sidebar footer, click Settings.
Go to the Organization settings page.
Find the Auto-Approve Domains section ("Users signing up with these email domains will be automatically approved").
In the input ("Enter domain (e.g., acme.com)"), type a domain.
Add it to the list and save.
Rules:
Enter just the domain — no @, no https://, no path. acme.com is right; @acme.com or https://acme.com is wrong. If you make this mistake, you'll see "Invalid domain format. Please enter a valid domain (e.g., acme.com)".
If you try to add a domain that's already in the list, you'll see "This domain is already in the list".
When the changes save successfully you'll see "Settings saved successfully!".
Find the domain in the list and remove it. Anyone who's already been auto-approved stays — removing a domain only affects future signups.
Turning on a domain doesn't retroactively approve the people already sitting on the Pending Member Requests list. Approve them there — see Approve pending members.
Start with one domain. Add your primary corporate domain (yourcompany.com), see how it goes for a week, then add subsidiaries or regional domains if needed.
Review the list quarterly. Domains drift — companies rebrand, get acquired, spin off subsidiaries. Check that every domain on your list is still one you'd happily auto-approve today.
Use invitations for high-trust roles. Auto-approve gives everyone the Member role. If you need to onboard someone as an Admin, send them a direct invitation instead — see Invite teammates.
Domain ≠identity. A domain check confirms the email address's suffix, not that the person is who they say they are. Auto-approve is about convenience; for sensitive orgs, manual approval remains the safer default.
