Access

This guide will help you start using our Access Groups to manage user access across your private guides and docs in our dashboard on scalar.com, which can be done alongside our CLI.

Make sure you have created a Scalar Account & are logged in (see create account guide)

Now let's make our first access group

Now that you have created an access group you can either add a catch-all for domains for access, or just granular email addresses.

Now let's restrict one of our Scalar Docs projects to the newly created access group.

Navigate to your Docs Project and navigate to the Security section, ensure "Private Docs" is enabled then you can allow access to the newly created access group.

Once you selected a group, your docs will be private with only that access group enabled to view the project.
