How To Configure Join Request Option

In VIDIZMO, users can control how a user's join request will be handled. This includes enabling/disabling automatic approvals or enabling/disabling the Join Portal option.

For instance, if a department of an organization has a dedicated Portal on VIDIZMO and the Admin wants to restrict access, they can manually add users to the Portal and disable the Join Portal link altogether.
