Tier- or tenant-gated Help Center login
Let visitors authenticate by email, then admit only the tiers, tenants, companies, or named customers you actually support on that Help Center.
Why this can grow a startup
A generic support surface often creates two bad outcomes at once: prospects see customer-only material they cannot use, and real customers wonder whether the company can keep account boundaries straight. Plain uses a cleaner model. Anyone can authenticate with a magic link, but access can still be limited by tier, tenant, company, or specific customer rules. That keeps the route easy to enter while making the content match the audience that should actually see it.
Company example
Plain lets teams require email magic-link login for a Help Center and then grant access when the visitor matches any configured Tier, Tenant, Company, or specific Customer rule.

When to use it
Use this when Support, Customer Success, Onboarding is relevant to access control, support-led growth, enterprise trust and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
