_First time reporting a bug? [Refer to our Start Here post.](https://community.glideapps.com/t/start-here-reporting-platform-bugs-issues/40)_ * * * **My App/Pages support link:** - Instructions: [Support](http://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/account/support#support-link) **Describe the bug:** - New users can’t sign up for the app anymore without a personal invite. **Expected behavior:** - People should be able to sign-up themselves (but also to use the public interface of the app) **How to replicate:** - In the builder under “settings” the “allow users to request access” is gone. Also the option of a public app with optional sign-up seems to be completely gone. ---

It’s there. ![Screenshot_20231005-115058](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/f/1f89b7ee42dff5a37b478c92dd8bd4a5a6d8af78.jpeg) Seems that you purposely have it set to not allow sign in. > [@Raphael\_Aebersold](#): > > In the builder under “settings” the “allow users to request access” is gone. Also there but inactive due to prior settings. ![Screenshot_20231005-115416](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/7/c751c9264b57040da2cef47e305abb6d60d329e0.jpeg) If you change to Optional Sign In, does the ‘Allow User to Request Access’ option become available? ---
