Adding an allowlist to your app

With Privy, you can enable an allowlist for your application to gate access to specific email addresses, phone numbers, and/or Ethereum addresses. You can use the allowlist feature to coordinate a beta launch of your product for early-access users, manage an ongoing waitlist, and more!

When you an enable an allowlist for your app:

  • All existing users will still be permitted to login to your app
  • New users must be added to the allowlist by their email address, phone number, or Ethereum address to be permitted to login
  • New users who have not been added to your allowlist will not be permitted to login.

Enabling the allowlist for your app

You can enable an allowlist directly from the Privy developer console. To do so, just navigate to the "Access Controls" tab of the console and toggle allowlists on.
