Silverstripe Version: 4.8
Question: Require login for certain pages
Login is required for some pages on my site. This thread General Questions » Silverstripe CMS from 2009 refers to the Access Tab, however, I can’t seem to be able to find that tab in my Silverstripe CMS. Is this answer still valid today? Can the access tab be enabled and disabled?
In general, is there a difference between backend and frontend users in Silverstripe? Or do all users go under Security?
Thank you,
Bernhard
You’ll find the bit you need in the ‘Settings’ tab of a page:
Under ‘Who can view this page?’ you can set up the access permissions.
There’s no difference in users, no. What differentiates them is the permissions / groups they are in. You can set up different groups with different permissions (including things like CMS access) in the security area. You can also create your own custom permissions / roles if you need to.
The security section of the docs has references for a few different things, depending on what you’re after: https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/5/developer_guides/security/
