Access control
Access control lets you apply security to your site, either to restrict access to
specific pages or to control user access to forums, blogs, and CMS.
• For page security: login to a password-protected page(s) or via an on-
the-page login box. Typically of use in personal websites or small
enterprise websites, you can allow free access to most of your site,
with only a limited set of pages accessible to selected web visitors. As
an example, a Photo Gallery page of your family can be made
"private" but still be shared with your relatives (under password
control). The login details are stored in a user group associated with
the page which contains a list of authorized users; the users are added
manually by the site manager or new users can self-register.
• For Smart object security: provides access control for forums, blogs,
and CMS (see p. 184).
• Forums: for management of users and group moderation.
• Blogs: for adding and removing articles via an Editors group.
• CMS: for managing articles in your CMS.
