Custom Networks
Not all communications are created equally. Networks give more important conversations greater visibility so you can get to them first and not miss out on critical details.

Using your networks
Custom networks are a type of closed network that provide a designated space for conversations among shared directories like those associated with work, clubs, and family.
Any user can create a custom network and there is no limit to how many they can join.
Custom networks can be created via the left menu of the app or by visiting profile > my organizations.
Member permissions
There are four default user types for custom network members with the option to define one custom user type via manage.lochbox.app. The default user types and permissions are:
