A default Space automatically adds newly registered users to that Space upon registration. This ensures new members can see posts from that Space in their home feed and post content immediately (depending on Space settings).
Default Spaces help you:
Ensure members access critical updates from important Spaces
Enable immediate participation in designated Spaces
Set up default notifications for new posts (based on default Space notification settings)
Important: Adding a default Space only applies to new users. Existing members are not automatically added to newly designated default Spaces.
How to add a default Space
You can add default Spaces in two ways:
Method 1: From the Admin Panel
Log in with your admin account
Click your profile picture in the top right corner
Select Administration
Select Settings
Select Community Settings
In the Default Spaces section, search for the Space you want to add as a default
Click Update to save your changes
Note: All new members are automatically added to these Spaces going forward, unless you remove the Space from the Default Spaces list.
To remove a Space from the default list: Click the [x] next to the Space name and click Update.
Method 2: Using invitation links
You can define default Spaces when sending invitation emails for registration. Learn more about inviting members.
