Space settings

Every Space has a settings page at /dashboard/space/<id>/settings where you control the public presence, branding, integrations and ownership.

Public profile

FieldWhat it controls
Display nameTitle of the public page and meta tags.
SlugThe URL handle in /space/<slug>. Changes to the slug should be rare — old URLs are not redirected automatically.
DescriptionLong-form text shown on the public page. Markdown supported.
LogoSquare image used as avatar across the platform.
Cover imageBanner shown at the top of the public Space page.
CategoryEditable only by Emblema staff after creation.
Country / cityUsed to surface local Spaces in discovery surfaces.

Add the URLs of your community channels:

  • LinkedIn
  • X / Twitter
  • GitHub
  • Mastodon
  • Discord / Slack invite link
  • YouTube channel
  • Personal website
  • Any other URL marked as "additional link"

Social links are shown on the public Space page and on every event's public page.

Open Badge issuer profile

When you issue an Open Badge 3.0, the badge's issuer field is the Space. The issuer profile includes:

  • Issuer name (defaults to the Space name).
  • Issuer URL (defaults to the public Space page).
  • Issuer logo (defaults to the Space logo).
  • Verification method DID — managed by Emblema platform-wide; you do not need to provide your own keys. The signing keys (ED25519) are held by Emblema and rotated according to the Open Badges 3.0 spec.

You can review the issuer JSON-LD (the metadata that verifiers will fetch) from the Issuer profile sub-page in settings.

Visibility and discovery

  • Public (default) — the Space is listed in the public Space directory and indexed for search.
  • Unlisted — the Space is reachable only via direct URL.
  • Archived — the Space is hidden from listings and from new event creation, but existing events and badges remain accessible.

Ownership and roles

The settings page also lists the Owners of the Space. Each Space must have at least one Owner. To transfer ownership:

  1. Invite the new owner from Team with the Owner role.
  2. After they accept, demote yourself to Editor (or leave the Space).

If you are the only Owner and you want to leave the Space, transfer ownership first; otherwise the Space cannot be administered.

Followers

The settings page surfaces the count of followers of the Space and links to /dashboard/space/<id>/followers where you can review the people who follow your Space and broadcast announcements (when announcement features are available).

Danger zone

The bottom of the settings page exposes the irreversible actions:

  • Archive Space — hides it from public listings.
  • Restore Space — un-archives it.
  • Delete Space — soft-delete; reach out to support if you need a hard deletion. Open Badges already issued remain valid because they are cryptographically signed.
