72 Developing Sites and Pages
Photo Gallery page of your family can be made "private" but still be shared
with your relatives (under password control).
User lists can be created at the same time as setting your page security. Simply
enable access control for the page then create a new user list, adding a
username and password to the list. The username/password combination will
be used by the Web visitor to login and allow access to the Web page.
Two approaches can be taken when setting up username and passwords. If
you don't need to control visitors to your page you can set up a single
username and password—everyone uses the same login. However, if your
page is to be made accessible to a known group of people, e.g. a membership
list, it makes sense to allocate a username and password to each individual. As
members join or leave the member's login details can be added or removed
without affecting existing members.
For known users, consider using email addresses as user names
for better traceability.
This form of access control does not involve the Access Control
Smart object and associated groups, a more advanced method of
access control intended for controlling access to "zones" with
optional user sign up (see Advanced access control below).
To enable basic access control:
1. With the Web page currently in view, click the
button on the Pages context toolbar.
OR
Right-click the page in the Site tab, and choose Page Properties..., then
select the Page Security tab.
2. Check Protect page with password to enable access control. You'll notice
that the Change/Manage button becomes active. Click this button.
3. From the dialog, create your new user list by entering a Name (e.g.,
"PhotoGallery_Login") and a Description "Login access to family
photos", then click the Add New List button.
