The basic permissions panel covers most posts: tick Follow you, Subscribe or Pay, and you’re set. When you need more control, like different prices for different subscription tiers, or limiting an option by time, switch to Advanced.
This article answers the most common “how do I…” questions.
How Advanced Permissions Work
In the media pop-up, find Limit who can see this and click Advanced in the top right.
Each box is one way in. A box starts with “Fans who…” and lists the conditions a fan must meet.
“+ and also” adds a condition to a box. Fans must meet every condition in that box. You can add Pay, Follow you, Subscribe or On your private list.
“+ Add another way in” adds a new box. Fans only need to meet one box to unlock the media.
“Fans will see” at the bottom sums up your setup in plain words, for example: To unlock, fans must subscribe and pay $10 or subscribe to Tier 3. Check it before you post.
To go back to the basic panel, click Simple.
Common Questions
How do I make media only for one subscription tier?
You don’t need Advanced for this one.
Tick Subscribe.
Under Tier, pick the tier you want.
Only fans subscribed to that tier can unlock the media.
How do I let fans from several specific tiers in?
Click Advanced.
In the first box, set Subscribe to the first tier.
Click + Add another way in and add Subscribe with the next tier.
Repeat for each tier you want to include.
How do I make media free for subscribers but paid for everyone else?
Tick Subscribe and Pay, and set your price.
Click Make it free for subscribers instead.
Subscribers unlock the media for free, and everyone else pays the price you set.
How do I charge subscribers one price and everyone else another?
For example, $5 for subscribers and $30 for everyone else:
Click Advanced.
In the first box, add Subscribe, then click + and also and add Pay for $5.
Click + Add another way in, then add Pay for $30.
How do I require fans to do more than one thing?
For example, follow you and pay $5:
In the basic panel: tick every option you need. Fans must meet all of them.
In Advanced: add each requirement to the same box using + and also.
How do I give access based on when a fan subscribed?
You can reward long-time subscribers, or give new subscribers something special.
Click Advanced.
Add Subscribe to a box.
Click Only if subscribed after a date or Only if subscribed before a date, and choose the date.
Once you pick a date, it shows under the condition. Click clear to remove it.
How do I limit media to fans on a private list?
Click Advanced.

How do I save a setup so I can reuse it?
Once your permissions are set, click Save as audience.
Give it a name and click Save.
Your audience now appears under Saved audiences. Next time, click it to apply the same permissions instantly.
