These settings define who can get into the school and how. You choose whether registration is open to everyone, which login methods are available and from how many devices a student can be signed in at the same time. The settings are in My school → Login and registration (in a corporate school — Company → Login and registration). Each block is saved with its own Save button, which appears after you make changes. The Cancel button restores the previous values.

​
How a student registers

  1. The student enters an email or a phone number — depending on the enabled methods.
  2. The platform sends a confirmation code.
  3. The student enters the code. If the school has documents that must be accepted with a checkbox, they are shown at the same step.
  4. The account is created, and the student signs in to the school right away.
There are no extra questionnaire fields at registration: you can’t add your own questions to the form in the school settings.

​
Public or private school

In the School privacy block (in a corporate school — Company privacy), choose one of the options. In a private school, the login page has no registration. A visitor without an account can’t register on their own — neither through the login form nor at payment. Students are added manually in the People section. Learn more in Adding users. In a corporate school, registration is closed by default — see Company connection and setup.
If you make the school private, visitors who haven’t signed in and already have the website open are automatically returned to the home page.

​
Advanced settings

Under the school type selection, there is an expandable Advanced settings block. It is saved with the same Save button. In a corporate school, the first switch is called Profiles are visible to all company members, and the permission is Company user management.

​
Registration and login methods

In a public school, the block is called Registration methods, in a private one — Login methods. How the restrictions work:
  • In a public school, the switches restrict only the registration of new students. Students who already have an account can sign in with a turned-off method too: if email or phone is off, the login page shows the Sign in via login or Sign in via phone button.
  • In a private school, a turned-off method also disappears from the login form. A student whose account has only an email won’t be able to sign in if email login is off.
  • Sign-in with Apple is shown only in the iPhone app.
  • Sign-in with Telegram works only while it is on. If you turn Telegram off, nobody can sign in with it, including students who registered earlier.
You can’t turn off all methods. In a public school, at least one method must stay, otherwise you will see the hint At least 1 method - or make the school private. In a private school, email or phone must stay: At least 1 main method - email or phone.

​
Sign-in with Telegram

The Telegram setup block appears in a public school when the Telegram method is on. The Telegram sign-in button appears for students only when a Client ID or a bot token together with its name is specified.
1

Prepare the bot

Open the @BotFather bot in Telegram, choose your bot and go to the Login Widget setting. If the method isn’t enabled, click Switch to OpenID Connect Login and confirm.
2

Copy the Client ID

Paste it into the Client ID field in the Telegram login block.
3

Add the school addresses

In @BotFather, enter the school addresses in the Redirect URIs and Trusted Origins fields. The exact addresses — the base domain and your own domain, if it is connected — are shown in the How to connect hint in the top right corner of the block.
4

Enter the bot token

Paste the token into the Bot’s token field in the Bot notifications block. The platform checks the token and fills in the Bot’s name by itself. The school uses this bot to send notifications to students who have linked Telegram.
5

Save

Click Save.
Changes in @BotFather don’t apply immediately. Test Telegram sign-in in your browser’s incognito mode. Learn more about the school bot in Telegram bot.

​
Session limit

The Session limit block restricts from how many devices one student can be signed in to the account at the same time. This protects courses from access sharing. In the Maximum active sessions (from 1 to 10) field, enter a number. The default is 2. Then choose the mode.

​
How strict mode works

  • The platform counts all devices the student has signed in from, even if they later signed out themselves. A slot is freed only when a staff member ends the session in the student’s card on the Sessions tab. Learn more in User card.
  • Signing in again from the same device doesn’t count as a new one.
  • The restriction doesn’t apply to school staff with permissions in the control panel.
  • A student who has reached the limit sees the Device limit exceeded window with the Contact support button. The button leads to the link of the “Support” contact from the footer, and if there is none — to Exode support.

​
If you lower the limit

When you save a smaller number, the platform goes through all school users with active sessions. Each user keeps the sessions they were active in most recently, within the new limit. The other sessions are ended. This happens in either mode.

​
Frequently asked questions

The school is private, or the school’s subscription has ended. In both cases, the login page offers only sign-in for existing accounts.
In a public school — yes. The switches restrict only new registrations, and the login page shows the Sign in via login button. In a private school, a turned-off method also disappears from the login form.
The school has strict mode on. The old device keeps occupying a slot until a staff member ends its session. Open the student’s card, the Sessions tab, and end the session on the old device.
The sign-in goes through as usual. On the very first device, the student is automatically signed out.
Strict mode doesn’t block sign-in for staff who have permissions in the control panel. Students won’t be able to sign in from new devices over the limit.
New visitors can neither register nor open payment pages without signing in. Only students who already have an account can buy courses. Add the others manually.
Check three conditions: the school is public, the Telegram method is on and saved, and the Telegram setup block has a Client ID or a bot token with a name.
In a private school, the Telegram and Apple sign-in buttons are not shown, and their switches are hidden. Warn students that they need to sign in by email or phone. If you make the school public again, the buttons come back.
By default, only school team members create new chats. Turn on Users can create chats in the Advanced settings block and save. Chats already created keep working with either value.
No. At registration, a student enters only an email or a phone number and the confirmation code. They fill in their name and other data in the profile.
