I thought I had set up security by domain but it didn’t seem to work. I shared a link with some uses, but they reported they did not receive a pin and could not access the application.
Can someone please confirm:
(1) I select private for the user sign-in Settings, and
(2) what entry should I use for the domain field? for example, if my company uses email addresses [John.doe@abc.com](mailto:John.doe@abc.com) then do I simply specify [abc.com](http://abc.com) into the domain field?
(3) I assume I do not then need to add any email addresses for potential future users (that work at [abc.com](http://abc.com)) into the users table?
For info after trying this, and it not working, I reverted back to manually adding names into the users table, and this worked OK. However, I would be really happy to use the domain approach.

Can you try @abc.com instead of just [abc.com](http://abc.com)

Yes I will try that. Thank you.

Ok it turns out you just need [abc.com](http://abc.com). Not @abc.com - my colleagues had missed the PIN. But it works now.
I do think such an example should be inserted into the Glide documentation 🙂

@Darren_Murphy I think we can consider adding an example for this in the docs.
