Take Control: Powerful Access Settings for Every Event

Jul 28, 2025

Not every event is the same — and not every host wants the same level of openness, privacy, or interaction. That’s why Chivent gives you a powerful set of access control options, so you can customize how guests can view, upload, download, and interact with your event.

From intimate weddings to team celebrations and everything in between, these options help ensure your event flows exactly how you want it to.

Let’s walk through what each setting does — and why it might be perfect for your event:

🔒 Password Protection

Perfect for: Private family events, company parties, or closed communities.

Want to make sure only invited guests can access your event page? Enable Password Protection to lock the event behind a password. This gives you peace of mind and keeps things exclusive.
“We used this for our baby shower — only our close family could see the photos.”

👀 Guests Can View Files

Perfect for: Open galleries or shared moments.

Let guests view all uploaded content — from yourself or others. It’s a great way to create a shared memory wall where everyone can see what others have posted.
Or, turn it off if you want to review uploads first, or keep things hidden until the event ends.

⬆️ Guests Can Upload Files

Perfect for: Collaborative albums or community engagement.

Whether it’s a wedding, school event, or birthday party — let your guests contribute their photos and videos. The more people share, the richer the memory collection becomes.
“Our friends uploaded the funniest behind-the-scenes clips from our reception!”

📝 Guests Can Add Photo Notes

Perfect for: Storytelling, inside jokes, or meaningful captions.

Enable this so guests can add little notes with their uploads. It could be something silly (“Caught you dancing like nobody’s watching!”) or heartfelt (“This was the best toast of the night.”). These notes bring your media gallery to life.

📥 Guests Can Download Files

Perfect for: Letting everyone take memories home.

Enable downloads so guests can save original-quality photos and videos — no compression, no fuss. Great when you want people to keep copies of their favorite moments without asking you.

🗑️ Guests Can Delete Their Files

Perfect for: Privacy and mistakes.

Sometimes, guests upload something by accident or change their mind. With this setting, they can delete their own uploads without needing to bother the host.
“One of my guests accidentally uploaded a personal video meant for another group — she was glad she could remove it herself.”

🙈 Guests Can View Only Their Own Files

Perfect for: Games, surprise projects, or privacy-focused events.

Use this when you want guests to upload — but not see what others are sharing. It’s great for scavenger hunts, “I Spy” challenges, or secret video messages that only the host sees.
“We used this for a surprise birthday where everyone uploaded their message, and the birthday girl watched them all at once.”

✅ Upload Approval

Perfect for: Curated events or professional setups.

Want full control? Enable this to approve every upload before it’s shown publicly. Great for brand events, formal occasions, or when you want everything to stay on-brand and polished.

Perfect for: Public or semi-public events.

Let your guests spread the love! Enabling this allows them to share the event page on social media. It’s great for reunions, festivals, or any time you want to expand your event’s reach organically.

💾 Don’t Forget to Save!

Once you’ve customized your preferences, just click Save and you’re good to go.

Chivent gives you more than just a place to collect media — we give you control over the experience.

Whether you want full guest participation or a more private, curated vibe, these settings let you create the perfect space for your event.

Your event. Your guests. Your rules. 💡
