Guides

Configure access settings

Control what public visitors, signed-in users, and the owner can do with a Zwyn Tag.

Access settings control who can view the profile, create entries, view entries, edit entries, or delete entries. Zwyn uses a permission matrix so each audience can have its own permissions.

Before you start

  • You need to be signed in as the owner of the tag.
  • The tag needs to be claimed and visible in your dashboard or My Tags page.
  • Decide what visitors should be allowed to do before changing public permissions.
  • If the tag uses entries, decide who should create, view, edit, or delete them.

Try the permission matrix

Use the demo to understand how public visitors, signed-in users, and owners receive different permissions before changing a real tag.

Access settings example

Change the example settings to see how each access level affects who can use the tag.

Permission matrix

Choose who can perform each action. Entry access can also be limited to the creator of each entry.

View profile

Who can open and view the public-facing tag profile.

Anyone can view the tag profile.

Create entries

Who can add new entries to this tag.

Only the tag owner can create entries.

View entries

Who can view entries connected to this tag.

Anyone can view entries.

Edit entries

Who can edit entries connected to this tag.

Only the tag owner can edit entries.

Only the tag owner can create entries, so only the owner can edit them.

Delete entries

Who can delete entries connected to this tag.

Only the tag owner can delete entries.

Only the owner can edit entries, so deletion is also limited to the owner.

The tag owner always retains full access. Editing and deletion cannot be more open than the related entry creation and editing settings.

Steps

  1. 1 Open the tag from your dashboard or My Tags page.
  2. 2 Open the Access page from the tag navigation or tag overview.
  3. 3 Review the current permission matrix before changing anything.
  4. 4 Set who can view the public-facing profile.
  5. 5 Set who can create entries, view entries, edit entries, or delete entries.
  6. 6 Check the access summary to confirm that the page has detected your unsaved changes.
  7. 7 Save the access settings when the permission matrix matches what you want.

Audience rules

  • Public visitors are people who open the tag without signing in.
  • Signed-in users are logged-in Zwyn users who are not the owner of the tag.
  • The owner is the account that claimed and manages the tag.
  • Public permissions also apply to signed-in users. If public visitors may do something, signed-in non-owner users may also do it.
  • Owner permissions still take priority for the tag owner.

Common setups

  • Public profile only: allow public visitors to view the profile, but keep entry actions restricted.
  • Public logbook: allow public visitors to create entries, but limit editing or deleting to their own entries or to the owner.
  • Signed-in collaboration: allow logged-in users to create or view entries while keeping management actions owner-only.
  • Owner-only: keep profile visibility and entry actions limited to the owner.

What happens next

  • After saving, the tag uses the updated permission matrix.
  • Visitors only see or use the actions allowed by the saved access settings.
  • You can return to the Access page later to adjust permissions again.

Be careful with public access

Public permissions apply without signing in. Only enable public actions when anyone with the tag link should really be allowed to use them.
