Organisation Login: Secure, Closed Systems for Schools & Organisations
Overview
Create a private, controlled environment for your audio projects. Organisation Login enables schools, educational institutions, and organisations to build closed systems where only authorised members can access your content. Perfect for internal projects, educational programmes, and exclusive experiences that require controlled access.
What is an Organisational Login?
Organisation Login transforms Overhear into a secure, membership-based platform. Instead of public projects visible to everyone, you create a closed system where only members of your organisation can access designated projects. Members join using unique access codes, ensuring your content remains private and accessible only to those you authorise.
Key Concept: Closed System Access
- Members Only
- Organisation members can only see and access projects you've explicitly granted them access to
- No Public Access
- Unlike regular users, organisation members cannot browse or access public projects
- Complete Control
- You decide exactly which projects each member or group can access
- Secure Entry
- Access is controlled through unique access codes that you generate and distribute

Common Questions
Can organisation members see public projects?
No. Organisation members with basic member roles can only see projects they've been explicitly granted access to. This ensures a closed, focused environment.
How do I distribute access codes?
Access codes can be distributed as QR codes (for scanning) or text codes (for manual entry). Choose the method that works best for your organisation and members.
Can I revoke a member's access?
Yes. Organisation administrators can remove member access at any time through the admin portal.
What happens if a member loses their access code?
Administrators can generate new access codes or provide existing codes to members. Codes can be regenerated if needed.
Can I have multiple organisations?
Yes. The system supports multiple organisations, and members can potentially belong to multiple organisations with different access levels.
How do I create projects for my organisation?
Projects are created through the admin portal and assigned to specific members or groups. Only assigned members will be able to see and access these projects.
Is there a limit to the number of members?
Contact the Overhear team to discuss your organisation's size and requirements. The system is designed to scale with your needs.
Can I track member engagement?
Yes. The admin portal provides insights into member activity, project access, and engagement metrics to help you understand how your content is being used.
