Events with restricted or private registrations

In addition to general public group events, you can also create events for specific groups with restricted or private registration access. For example, these can be events for internal company use or for select participants who qualify for the event. You can accomplish this in one of two ways described below.

To enable this option, go to Step 5 — Filters & Settings when creating or editing your event and turn on the "Restrict who can register to this event" feature.

Option 1: Restrict by organization's email domain

This uses the attendee's email address and is best for internal, company-specific events where attendees share the same email domain.

To restrict registrations to only those who use an email address from a specific organization's domain, enter the domain that comes after the @ symbol in that email address. You may restrict by multiple email domains using a comma-separated list.

Option 2: Restrict by passcode

This uses a predefined passcode and is best for unrelated attendee registrations.

To restrict registrations to only those who use a specific passcode, create and enter the passcode that you will share with them. You may restrict by multiple passcodes using a comma-separated list.

With this feature enabled, your event will now only allow certain individuals, based on your chosen and applied restriction, to register to it.

NOTE — While you can restrict who can register for your event, you cannot restrict who can view your event page(s). Any page published online is subject to being crawled and indexed by web search engines, meaning it is public. It is not possible to make your event pages or event portal site private on Corsizio, as that would require a completely different mechanism to authenticate all visitors with password-protected access.

Can a specific person be blocked from registering for an event?

No. Blocking a specific person from registering for an event is impossible, given that personal data can be changed or input differently on a registration form to bypass any arbitrary name or email address block. For example, the person can use a different name, slightly change their name, or use a different email address.

Ultimately, Corsizio is an open, public registration platform and not an internal, private network where people need to log in and through which their activity could be tracked or restricted. On Corsizio, registrants do not create login accounts, and their registration activity cannot be controlled besides using an email domain restriction or passcode restriction, as explained in this help doc above.

If you have a problematic registration situation, the best option is to monitor and cancel any such registration and communicate with the person to hopefully prevent future registrations from them.
