Protect deploys

For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt

Control who can access your deploys on Netlify with project visibility, password protection, visitor access controls, Netlify team-based restrictions, blocking web traffic, and more.

Project visibility

Section titled “Project visibility”

This feature is available on Credit-based Free, Personal, and Pro plans only. On a Free and Personal plan, private projects can only be seen by the Team Owner. On Pro plans, you can add unlimited team members to your project or team to view a project.

You can control who can access your project's deploys by making the project private, so that only logged-in members of your Netlify team can view it.

If your team has private by default enabled, new projects start private, unless you change the visibility setting. This includes previews, which stay private unless you change the preview visibility setting. You can set visibility defaults at the team level or adjust them per project, with separate settings for production deploys and previews.

On Pro plans, you can invite unlimited team members to view a private project's deploys.

Learn more in our project visibility docs.

Password protection

Section titled “Password protection”

You can control who can access your project's deploys by requiring a password. Learn more at our Password Protection docs.

Web traffic rules

Section titled “Web traffic rules”

You can control who can access your project's deploys by setting up Firewall Traffic Rules.

Set a rule to limit access based on a web visitor’s:

  • IP address
  • Country
  • Subregion

Learn more at our Firewall Traffic Rules docs.

Rate limiting

Section titled “Rate limiting”

You can control who can access your project's deploys by setting up rate limiting. Learn more at our Rate Limiting docs.
