Giving Users Access to Restricted Pages

To give a user access to a password protected page, then you will need to create the member in the MEMBERS area, 

Click the main MEMBER menu button, then choose Add Member from the options available.

If the user already exists - update their Status / Authorisation level, or assign to a Member Group as required.

If the user already exists, and you have restricted by Authorisation Level - then you need to select them and increase their security level to "Authorised User"

You can choose other access levels as appropriate. They must be higher than the security level set for the page. You can increase the password protection level for any page under page options tab, top right when editing page.

If you have restricted the page by Member Group, you will need to assign them to the relevant Member Group options. These can be found under the NEW GROUPS section on the right-hand side of the member record.

 

Notes on Definitions

  • Password protected means you have set either a security group or security level for the page. These pages will be included in menus if not hidden. If hidden from menu, then it may appear in member welcome page. If you have set a security group, and hidden the page, then you need to ensure the security level is also set, otherwise it will not appear on member welcome page.
