Issue/Request:
I am assisting the President’s Office to create restricted pages. I’ve turned on the ‘Access Control’ module and rebuilt permissions. I am trying to use the module on a ‘per page basis’ but the couple of people that I’ve asked to test this (they have no permissions to the President’s development site) are still able to see the ‘restricted’ page. Please let me know what I am missing so I can correct it and get this to work properly. I followed the How-To Guide’s instructions for the ‘Access Control’ module.
I look forward to learning what it is I’m not getting right.
Thanks so much!
P.S.
I created a ‘Restricted’ role but did not use it yet for this.
I’m looking into this now JoAnn
The permissions are setup properly and I am not able to access the page unless I’m logged in. My guess is that they are logged in and don’t know it.
Thank you! But I have a follow up question:
Would a role have to be set up so that the restricted page can be viewed by specific people. I know that each of those people would have to be assigned a role. The goal is to have pages restricted so that only specific people can view them. What is the best way to do this, I’m assuming by creating a specific role? Please let me know what you think.
Yes a role would need to be created and people would need to be assigned that role.
