🔏Member Portal

Build this

A branded private app for members: they sign in (and optionally sign up), see member-only screens, and never see maker tools.

Notion setup

• Members / App Users source with email (optional plan/tier property)

• Content or data databases members should browse

• Signup policy: allowed email domains vs invite-only

Screens to add

1. Member home — List, Grid, or Content

2. Details / lesson screens for signed-in members

3. Optional public marketing Content page with Sign in / Sign up CTAs

4. Separate roles if you need Admin vs Member navigation

Build path (15–30 minutes)

1. Private apps

2. Sign up — lock allowed email domains

3. Roles and navigation

4. Auth and access

5. Settings → Appearance

6. Publish & share

Optional upgrades

• Build a Mixed Public–Private Portal

• Per-Screen Public Access

• Google login (paid add-on) — Integrations

Common pitfalls

• Leaving signup open to every email domain

• Mixing App Users with maker collaborators

• Showing admin screens to the Member role

Verify

1. Incognito: guest sees only public screens (if any).

2. Sign up / log in as a member; confirm member-only nav.

3. Confirm a blocked domain cannot sign up (if restricted).
