How to control access to your site

Access Control

The Access Control feature allow editors to control what content can be seen and/or responded to within a given site. Access to discussion group messages, stories, pictures and news items can be restricted to specific types of members, or on a date/time basis.

Access to individual messages, stories and pictures can be restricted to members, editors or managing editors (also known as Cohorts). You can also set messages to read-only, meaning that no responses may be posted in the discussion group, or you can restrict access based on a date/time range.

Members can restrict access to their own content by cohort. Managing editors can also restrict access to areas of the site by URL, by adding attributes to the Site Structure.

Click the Prefs link in the Editors Only menu and then click Access Control. This is where you configure your Access Control preferences.

Maintain Access Control Error Pages

There are two different error pages which are returned when someone attempts to access a page they don't have permission to view. The first error page is displayed when the user doesn't have sufficient priviliges to view the page, and the second is displayed when a page is restricted by date.

You can edit the title and body text of these error pages on the bottom of the Access Control prefs page. Or you can also check the appearance of the error pages by clicking the "View" link beside each error message form.
