# Restrict permissions of new members
{!admin-only.md!}
In large Zulips where
[anyone can join](/help/allow-anyone-to-join-without-an-invitation), it can
be useful to restrict what new members can do, to make it easier to cope
with spammers and confused users.
Members are **new members** from when they join till when their account ages
past a certain **waiting period** threshold. After that they are **full members**.
You can configure how long the waiting period is, as well as which actions require
being a full member.
Currently, the following actions support limiting access to full members.
- [Creating streams](/help/configure-who-can-create-streams)
- [Adding users to streams](/help/configure-who-can-invite-to-streams)
### Set waiting period for new members
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|organization-permissions}
2. Under **Other permissions**, configure **Waiting period before new members turn into full members**.
