# What members see

Your members never type a name or a code: they open your link, sign in, and land on **Add to chart**, or on a request you approve.

## Opening your link

Signed out, your link opens sign-in, headed with your name:

```text
@yourname invited you to an Indicator
```

After they sign in or sign up, a **Join right away** link or a personal
link lands them on your indicator with **Add to chart**, without typing
anything. The invite survives the sign-up, email check included.

A personal link works for one account. Opened by a second account, it says
"This personal link was already used by another account."

## An Ask to join link

An **Ask to join** link, the default, shows a request card instead:

```text
Invite only
Only people @yourname invites can find and add it.
Ask to join
```

They press **Ask to join** and see "Requested. You'll hear when @yourname
says yes." You approve the request in the People panel
([The invite link](invite-your-community.md#the-invite-link)), and from
then on they can add it.

## After they join

The indicator is under **Shared with you** in the Indicators dialog, and
the chart's search finds it. They add it like any other indicator
([After publishing](../functions/publishing.md#after-publishing)).

With **Protected** code, OpenMarket's servers run the indicator over the
chart's candles and send back only what it draws. Your members see the
plots and nothing else: there is no code to download, read or fork.

## When access ends

When you remove someone, or their end date passes, the indicator stops
loading for them. A Protected one stops within about 15 minutes.

A Compiled module their browser already downloaded cannot be called back:
it stops updating, but it does not vanish from a page that is already
open. That is one more reason to publish anything you sell as Protected.

## When the link cannot open

An account that cannot use Indicators yet gets one sentence and nothing
else:

```text
This Indicator link isn't available on your account yet.
```

A wrong link, or one to an indicator you deleted, says "This Indicator
isn't available. The link may be wrong, or the author removed it."
