Wix Mobile Apps: Setting Viewing Permissions for Your Member Apps
Your member apps (e.g. Spaces by Wix and Fit by Wix) include various screens that keep your content organized, such as 'Home', 'Events', 'Classes', etc. Members can browse these screens using the navigation menu at the top.
You can control who sees each screen by setting permissions. For example, you might make a 'Classes' screen visible only to members with a pricing plan or a trainer badge, while other users won’t see it.
Note:
Member apps (Spaces by Wix and Fit by Wix) always use member mode, where access is based on badges or pricing plans.
Setting viewing permissions for your screens
Choose who can view each screen in your Wix member app. Restrict access to members with selected badges or pricing plans, and customize how excluded members experience the app.
You can also hide a screen from members without access or show it locked with your own message and call-to-action button.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about managing permissions for each screen.
What do members see when they don't have permission to view a screen?
When someone can't access a screen in your app, they will either see a message or the screen will be hidden from them. This depends on the option you choose.
If you show a message, the screen is still listed in the app menu with a lock icon. Members see the message you wrote, along with a button they can use (for example, 'Request access' or 'Buy plan').
If you hide the screen, it will not appear in the menu for those without permission. Members who don't have access won't see the screen at all.
What happens after a member requests permissions to view a screen?
A chat message notifies you that a member is seeking permission to view a screen that you set permissions for.
You can grant the member permissions by assigning them the relevant badge or advising them to purchase the specific pricing plan. If needed, you can also add a member manually to a pricing plan.
Is there a difference between my site pages and the screens in the app?
Yes. Screens on the Wix member apps are structured differently than the pages on your site.
If you restrict access to one of your site's pages, you also need to restrict the screen that shows this information on the Wix member apps (via the Wix app).
