Restricting guest access

[mgn841]

Hi! Has anyone successfully restricted guest access to the CryptPad? I tried to follow the documentation and adding this line: AppConfig.registeredOnlyTypes = AppConfig.availablePadTypes; I tried both to add it in config.js file, and to create a file in the customize folder, as explained in the documentation of CryptPad. But nothing works. So I guess I'm doing something wrong

@mgn841 You have to create it in /app/data/customize/application_config.js as specified in https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/admin_guide/customization.html#restricting-guest-access. Like:

I was using the File manager, and I did not understand the documentation very well. In case anyone has trouble doing this, use the terminal for CryptPad and copy the necessary file using:

cp /app/code/www/common/application_config_internal.js /app/data/customize/application_config.js

Then you can use the File manager to edit the application_config.js file. It is in the customize folder when you open the File manager

I am trying to restrict guest access with Cloudron 10.0.4 and Cryptpad 2026.5.1. I cannot follow the Cryptpad instructions from @girish 's link above because they refer to the files customize.dist/application_config.js and www/common/application_config_internal.js but neither of these seem to exist, nor their directories:

$ ls app/
blob  block  config.js  customize  data  datastore  sso.js
$ cd app/ && find . -name "*application_config*"
<no output>

Can anyone help me here?

Hello @bwag

I will update our documentation to include a guide for this.

Edit:
Here is the documentation:

Thank you! FWIW, my issue was caused by using ssh to navigate the app's data directory on my server, when I needed to be using the Web Terminal.

I added all three of these lines:

AppConfig.registeredOnlyTypes = AppConfig.availablePadTypes;
AppConfig.disableAnonymousPadCreation = true;
AppConfig.disableAnonymousStore = true;
