Manage
Approve who joins and set up the buildings
Review requests to join and give each member one of five roles; only a platform administrator makes an Organiser. Set up buildings, units, parking and the estate's colour and logo.
Members
Every member, and who is pending approval
Every member with their status and role, by name. A notice counts who is pending approval, and Review now lists them. Organisers approve, reject, suspend or remove from the row.

- Approve, reject, suspend, or remove

| Elif Demir ET105 | Approved | |
| Abdi Warsame ET204 | Pending approval | |
| Lucia Ferreira WC102 | Approved |
Joining
A letter for each home, or a link for the estate
Organisers print each home a letter with its own code. A resident who enters it joins that home without waiting for approval. Or turn on Self-Registration: residents pick their home from the public link, and each request waits for approval.
- A letter with its own home code for each home
- A private link for one home, from an Organiser
- Self-Registration with a public join link
- Approval for each request from the public link
Go to Units & Buildings to see each home’s code and void one.

Home codes
See where each home’s code stands
Units & Buildings shows each home’s letter code and private link: when it was issued and until when it works, or that it expired or was voided. Only the letter, or a private link shown once, carries the code.
- Letters for the whole estate, a building, a block or chosen homes
- A code works until a date, or has no expiry
- Printing a home again replaces its code
- Only Organisers print letters and make private links
| Unit | Building | Invite |
|---|---|---|
| Flat 3 | Maple House | |
| Flat 5 | Maple House | |
| Flat 7 | Maple House |
A letter code is live, issued 12 October 2026, until 31 December 2026
