Membership Manager and Member Tags

How creators organize members on the profile page, what Join membership and Leave membership do, and how member tags support later audience selection.

Where you see this in the app

The membership flow is split across two profile experiences:

SurfaceWho sees itWhat it does
Join membership / Leave membership on a profileVisitors and membersJoin or leave that creator's circle
Membership manager on your own profileThe creator onlySearch members and manage Member tags

This means the same relationship has a public side for joining and a private side for organizing members afterward.

Join vs manage membership

From a viewer's perspective, membership is simple:

UI labelMeaning
Join membershipStart following this creator as an active member
Leave membershipEnd that member relationship
Member badgeConfirms the membership is active
Joined <date>Shows when the relationship started

From the creator's perspective, the membership manager is not for approving access one person at a time. It is mainly an organization tool.

Searching and tagging members

The membership manager supports a search field and a Member tags input on each member card.

Field or controlPlain-English meaning
Search inputFind members by name, email, username, or existing tag
Member tagsAdd label groups such as vip, friends, reviewers, or region labels
Save tagsPersist the current tag set for that member
Last updatedShows when the tag state was last changed

The practical goal is to make later audience targeting easier. The creator can prepare useful groups before writing the next restricted post.

Reviewer and custom tags

The app supports both ordinary custom tags and a reviewer-style tag pattern.

Examples that fit the current UI:

  • vip
  • beta
  • reviewer
  • city or cohort labels such as london, sf, or mentors

The important point is that tags are creator-defined audience labels. They are not public profile badges and they are not visible as a public social status marker to everyone else.

How member tags affect later visibility

Member tags matter because later post visibility controls can target them.

The creator workflow is usually:

  1. a user joins membership from the profile,
  2. the creator opens the membership manager,
  3. the creator tags groups of members,
  4. later posts or edit-access settings can reference those audience tags.

So the membership manager is best understood as the audience-preparation tool that feeds later post visibility, workspace collaboration, and special-access flows.
