- Invitations
- Enforced atWhen this policy is checked: while someone tries to open, while they create or change an invitation or hold, or after a denial (notify only).
- Authoring-time
- TiersWhere an admin can set this policy: the whole organization, one integration, or the physical device when the connector supports a device steward.
- OrgIntegrationDevice
- EnforcementHow a configured row behaves. Enforce blocks. Require approval opens an admin inbox when the type supports it. Audit only records and never blocks.
- Enforce
- DefaultWhat happens when no row of this type is configured.
- Not configured — no policy cap on portals per invitation.
The number of unique granted portals on an invitation may not exceed max. Extra doors are not silently dropped — the request is rejected.
When it is enforced
Evaluated when someone creates or updates an invitation, hold, or share. Requests that would exceed the limit are rejected — they are not silently rewritten.
Where to set it
Settings → Policies (org), the integration Policies tab, or — on PalGate — the device steward Policies tab.
Policies never grant access. See thepolicies architecture guidefor how org, integration, and device tiers combine.
Arguments
The config object on create/update. Shared row fieldsenforcement (enforce, require_approval,audit_only) and enabled apply to every type;audit_only and disabled rows never block.
| Name | Type | Required | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| max | integer | Yes | — | Maximum unique portals per invitation. Must be greater than 0. |
| output | string or integer | No | — | Optional channel or output id. When set, the policy binds only that output. When omitted, it binds every output of the tier target. A scoped row does not apply when the acting output is unknown. |
How overlapping rows combine
Minimum of max across applicable rows. Reject, do not clamp.
Example
An invitation that grants both the lobby and the garage is rejected.
