Blocking External Users #2018
Comments
@RDavies2019 We don’t currently have a mechanism for this, though its on our roadmap. Currently, we have support for two things:
If you’d like, I’d be happy to chat further about this. Feel free to ping me at joncart@microsoft.com. |
Ok, great. You saved me time looking for something that doesn't exist. Is there a way to lock down the settings (found under File-->Preferences-->Settings-->Extensions-->Visual Studio Live Share), so that they can be altered only by an admin? |
Unfortunately not. Centrally-managed settings is also on our roadmap, but there isn’t currently a solution for that. |
You've been so helpful, so I hope you won't mind two more questions.

Neither of those currently have a solution either. The ability for participants to independently navigate is actually one of our core value props, though for certain use cases (e.g. classroom lectures), we’ve heard interest in forcing guests to follow. We’re currently tracking this via #87. If you could upvote that issue, and add any extra requirements info, that would be awesome! Additionally, we don’t currently track terminal activity anywhere. Though we’ll be working on a general “activity log” soon, that will include terminal actions, along with edits, etc. |
Hi @lostintangent, just wondering if there have been any updates on this roadmap since last year when this issue was opened? |
Closing this as a duplicate of #2. @jtbandes We recently released a simple extension called Live Share Gatekeeper that will automatically block guests outside of the domain of the host. Let me know if that suits your needs! |
This is neither bug nor a feature request, so I don't know where to put it. It's more of a "how to" question.
Is there a way to block users outside our company from joining a session? For example, maybe I only want to accept accounts that fall under our domain, user@ourdomain.com. I did find a setting to reject guests, so that's a start.
I'm in IT. A developer requested Live Share, and I'm trying to evaluate it from a security standpoint. Thank you for your help.
