Enabling the requirement of admin permission for colleagues to join the workspace ensures that they need admin approval before joining. Colleagues can request permission to join either by using the invitation link or through the "Find Workspace" page. By default, this setting is disabled, and no admin approval is necessary.
Note that prior to joining a Mentimeter workspace, we always prompt users to verify their email address. Also, If your organization has an SSO Enterprise subscription, we do not currently support an admin approval process.
How to enable admin permission
Going to your Workspace Settings as an admin, you will find Joining the Workspace under the Joining and Inviting section.
Clicking the toggle will enable admin approval as a requirement when colleagues request to join your workspace:
With the toggle enabled, colleagues can now request to join your workspace, either via the invitation link from the invite modal or via the Find Workspace page, depending on your Workspace Discoverability settings.
How to approve requests
When a colleague has requested to join your workspace, all admins will receive a notification via email and be able to approve the request in the Requests page.
To access the Requests page, click on your profile icon in the top right corner of your dashboard and select Requests from the dropdown menu.
In the Join workspace requests tab, you will find all the open requests from your colleagues. To accept the request, click on Invite. If you wish to decline the request, you can simply ignore it, and it will automatically disappear after 30 days.

Keep in mind that accepting a request will always result in a paid license being occupied.
