Whitelisting

Whitelisting allows specific accounts to bypass usage limits without being super admin.

What is Whitelisting?

Whitelisting grants special access to:

• Bypass event limits
• Access all features
• No plan restrictions
• Similar to super admin but organization-specific

How It Works

Organization-Level

Whitelisting is checked at the organization level:

• If any organization owner is super admin
• Organization gets unlimited access
• All limits are bypassed

Usage Limit Check

// Check if organization has super admin owner
const hasSuperAdmin = organization.members.some(
  (member) => 
    member.role === 'owner' && 
    member.user.role === 'super_admin'
);

if (hasSuperAdmin) {
  return { allowed: true, limit: Infinity };
}

Whitelisting Methods

Method 1: Super Admin Owner

Make organization owner a super admin:

-- Set user as super admin
UPDATE "user" 
SET role = 'super_admin' 
WHERE email = '[email protected]';

Method 2: Database Flag

Add whitelist flag to organization (if implemented):

UPDATE "organization" 
SET whitelisted = true 
WHERE id = 'org-id';
