How to Secure your Hub

Hubs are accessible for anyone to visit and browse content. However, for some Hubs, you may want to limit access to a specific audience. Hushly provides options to keep content safe from prying eyes by limiting access and securing your Hub. 

To Secure your Hub, follow the steps below:

1. From the Left Nav menu, go to Hubs and select the Hub you wish to secure.

2. On the Hub menu, click on Security. 

How do you want to secure your Hub?'

Public

To make your Hub accessible to the Public, select the Public option and click Save. Anyone can access your Hub.

Note: The Public option is selected by default

By Password

To make your Hub accessible to people who have a designated password, select the By Password option.  

1. Provide a re-authentication time for your passwords. This allows the user to access the Hub within the specified time. Once the session time expires, the user must re-enter the password.
   
   Use the following formats to designate the session time: xx minutes, xx hours, or xx days.
   Examples: 1 minute / 30 minutes, 1 hour / 24 hours, 1 day / 25 days, 2 days 10 hours 30 minutes.
   
   Note: The maximum value of a session is 180 days.
   
   
2. To create a Password, enter it in the field provided then click +Add button.
   Note: A password must contain 6 characters and at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character.
   
3. To create multiple passwords, repeat step 2.
   
   
4. Click Save. 

By Email

When you secure your Hub using two-factor authentication, it is only accessible to people whose emails or company domains have been designated.
To add emails or domains:

1. Provide a re-authentication time for your passwords. This allows the user to access the Hub within the specified time. Once the session time expires, the user must re-enter the password. Use the following formats to designate the session time: xx minutes, xx hours, or xx days.
   Examples: 1 minute / 30 minutes, 1 hour / 24 hours, 1 day / 25 days, 2 days 10 hours 30 minutes.
   
   Note: The maximum value of a session is 180 days.
   
   
2. Enter an email or a domain in the field provided.
   • Adding an email address will grant access for that particular email user to the Hub after verification. 
     Example: A user's company email address. 
     When a visitor enters an email that is included in the list, a verification code will be sent to their inbox. On entering the provided verification code, the visitor will be able to access the Hub.
     
     
   • Adding a Domain will grant access to all the emails that belong to the added domain after verification. 
     Example: Enter a company domain; hushly.com 
     When a visitor enters an email with the listed domain, a verification code will be sent to their inbox. On entering the provided verification code, the visitor will be able to access the Hub.
