Students and Learners

If you are receiving the error message "Your email or email domain ________ is not allowed to join." when attempting to join a Flipgrid discussion, send this article to the educator who has the ability to edit the settings for the Topic/Group or confirm which email address you should be using to access the discussion.

Educators: Fixing the domain access error 

If your learners are receiving the error message "Your email or email domain ________ is not allowed to join." when attempting to join a Flipgrid discussion, you simply need to add that domain to the allowed email domains in your Topic (or Group) settings.

1. Access your Educator Dashboard at http://admin.flipgrid.com
2. Determine which Join Code is causing access issues for your students
3. With Discussion, select the Topics or Groups tab 
   
   • If the Join Code is a random string of characters (746ce49fs), it's most likely a Topic Access Control setting
   • If the Join Code is a code that contains your last name or is custom code you created (fgrid3457), it's likely a Group Join Code
4. Select the pencil icon to edit the Topic or Group 
5. Scroll to Access Control and add the emails listed in the error message
   • Add the domain (everything after the @ sign) to allow any email from that domain to join
   • Add individual email addresses, separating them by a comma (,) to add multiple at once
6. Click Update on the bottom right to save your settings
