The Status app is currently in its beta stage. This means the application is still undergoing active development, and certain features described in this document may function differently or be unavailable within the app.
You can only manage community join requests in the Status desktop app.
You can set up manual or automatic approval join requests for your community. All requests to join your community are automatically approved by default, but you can enable manual approval.
With the manual approval option, you receive a notification whenever someone requests to join your community. This way, you can decide whether to accept, reject or ignore the request.
- Users don't receive a notification when a community owner or admin rejects their join request. Users receive a notification only when the request to join is accepted.
- The community screen is where the user can find out if their request was approved or denied.
- If your control node is offline (for example, when you turn off your computer or close the Status desktop app), automatic join requests are rejected, and manual join requests time out in seven days. Keep the Status desktop app running as much as possible.
- Besides manual approval, you can set up token requirements to join communities. Manual approval and token requirements work independently.
When joining a community, Status considers token requirements before membership requests.
