How do I make a space members-only?

I want one space visible only to approved volunteers. I see visibility and join-policy settings — which combination gives me an approval-gated private space?

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

This is expected behavior, not a bug. The guard you are hitting is intentional — it protects against a class of mistakes that used to cause data loss.

If you need the other behavior, there is a documented filter you can hook to override it per site.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.
