# Registration

> Reference for the Registration tab: Access (Invite list only or Public link), Require approval, the registration deadline, and the participant list toggle.

The **Registration** tab in **Event settings** decides who can enter the event page and until when. Each control saves as soon as you change it. The deadline saves when you select **Apply**.

## Settings

| Setting | Options and effect |
| - | - |
| **Access** | **Invite list only** (default): only participants you've invited or added can enter. **Public link**: anyone with the link can register. Switching to the public link asks **Make registration public?**; confirm with **Make public**. |
| **Require approval** | Applies to public link registrations. New registrations wait as **Pending approval** until you approve or reject them in **Participants**. Participants you add or import skip approval. |
| **Registration deadline** | Date and time in the event time zone. **Remove deadline** clears it. If not set, registration closes when the event ends. The deadline must be before the event ends. Invited participants can enter until the event ends. |
| **Show participants in the participant list before they enter** | Approved participants who haven't entered yet appear in the participant list. |

## What participants experience

* Public link without approval: the participant registers, verifies their email, and enters right away.
* Public link with approval: the participant waits on the event page and gets an email once approved. See [Join an event](/participant/join).
* After the deadline, new registrations stop. Participants who already joined keep signing in, and invited participants can still enter until the event ends.
* If you move the event end to before the deadline, registration closes at the event end instead.

<Warning>
  **No one can register through the link** appears at the top of the tab when
  **Access** is **Public link** but no participant type has **Selectable at
  registration** on. Select **Go to participant types** and turn it on for at
  least one type.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Apply is disabled">
    The deadline is empty, unchanged, or after the event ends. Choose a date and
    time before the end, in the event time zone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A participant was registered without approval">
    **Require approval** covers public link registrations only. Participants you
    add or import are registered right away.
