Projects in Userback act as containers for collecting and managing feedback across different websites or applications, allowing you to tailor settings, and organize feedback by client or versions. This guide will walk you through the different settings available to you, helping you tailor each project to your specific needs.

Privacy Settings
Userback helps you collect valuable feedback while protecting user privacy. We provide two methods to ensure sensitive information never gets captured:
Class-Based Exclusions: Add the "userback-ignore" class to any HTML element you want to exclude from screenshots and recordings.
Privacy Settings Configuration: In your project's privacy settings, specify selectors to exclude. For example, add
input[type="password"]
to exclude password fields from screenshots.
Tip: you can also set privacy rules for your Session Replays. Learn how here.
Advanced Settings
Basic Authentication
If your website or web app requires basic authentication (.htaccess), our servers might not be able to access your site URL including static resources such as images and stylesheets, as such, you will need to configure some basic authentication settings for your Userback Project.
To make your site accessible to our screenshot servers, you can either whitelist our server IPs or provide us with your basic authentication details.
HTTP Headers
If whitelisting IPs isn't feasible for giving the Userback Screenshot Engine access, you can add additional HTTP headers to identify requests from our screenshot servers. This is especially useful when your site is in a protected environment. By adding extra HTTP headers, you can ensure that these requests are recognized and appropriately whitelisted.
