# Private Wiki

A private wiki is a setting that makes the entire GROWI site unavailable for viewing without logging in.
It is assumed that this is an essential feature for internal information sharing sites.
- In GROWI.cloud, private wikis are available for all plans except the FREE plan.

# Group Management

A group management function is available on the private wiki to restrict who can view each page.
See GROWI Docs (opens new window) for details.

If a GROWI App that has been set up as a private wiki under a paid plan is downgraded to a free plan by the owning organization's plan change screen, GROWI will automatically go into public mode.
If a paid subscription (recurring payment) failure occurs, the GROWI App will only be deactivated and will not be automatically downgraded to a free plan.
*If you do not continue to use the paid plan at the end of the first month free campaign, you will be automatically force downgraded to the free plan.
- If a forced downgrade is performed, the GROWI app settings will not be automatically updated, and you will not be automatically converted to an open wiki.
