What happens when enabling student registration with a group invite code?

We are making this change to further reinforce the security of Soundtrap's Walled Garden feature. If the invite code is shared publicly, it can jeopardize the students’ safety by potentially causing strangers to receive access to your School’s Soundtrap account. 

To learn more about the methods available when importing students to your EDU account, please go to this section within our support page or visit the articles below:

If you still choose to accept the risk and want to enable student registration with a group invite code, here are the instructions: 

Owner instructions:

1. Go to Account settings > Import settings
   
   
   
2. Check the box to Allow student registration with group invite code 
   
   
3. Go to Groups > Open the Group you want to import the student into
   
   
4. Make sure the invite code is active before sharing it with the student
   
   
   
5. To protect your students’ safety, make sure the invite code is shared privately and only with the users that should be part of your Education account.  
   
   
6. Once the students have successfully been imported, make sure to uncheck the box under “Import settings” to avoid giving other users access to your EDU account.
