INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: The Portal Settings section in CourtReserve allows admins to configure the key elements of the member experience. Each icon represents a different area you can customize or manage. This article provides a high-level overview of each option, with links to more detailed resources.
NAVIGATION
To access the Portal Settings in the admin panel, navigate to the Settings > Portal Settings row.
1. Setup 
Use the Setup icon to customize the essential settings that shape your Member Portal experience. From here, you can:
Access and share your Portal Link so players can easily find your club online.
Decide whether the Member Portal is turned on (for clubs using CourtReserve with players) or off (for staff-only use).
Control whether players can create their own accounts online or if accounts must be created by admins.
Manage whether members can log in to the portal during setup or only once your club is ready to go live.
Choose if new members are auto-approved or require admin approval before gaining access.
These settings establish the foundation for your club’s online presence and member access.
Visual Examples:
The Portal Link opens the club’s member portal home page.
