Home MenuBuild a "Members Only" page
Members group, password protection, employee portal
Consider before building:
- Who will have access to these pages? (this is the Member Group)
- What content will they want available in these locations? (building a page that is filtered to show only certain content)
- Create a Member Group
- Create Member Group User Accounts
- (You may need to) Create a Member Login Page
- (You may need to) Create a Member Login Portal/Access Link
- Build/Select Content that is for the Member Group
Create a Member Group-
- Navigate to Administration> Website User Accounts> Member Groups
- Name the Member Group
Create Member Group Accounts-
- Navigate to Administration> Website User Accounts> Add Website User
- Add in all User information and Check ACTIVE
- Navigate to the Settings Tab and select the Member Group this person belongs to
- Save> add more users (Import function)
Member Login Page and Member Portal Link-
- When a website user (average employee) wants to see the members only content where will they go?
- Most clients want an Employee Login button on their website that can be accessed from the Homepage or the Header/Footer of their pages- this connection is created by:
- Creating a "Hidden from Navigation" page that is used for the sole purpose of Redirecting the Website User to a Login
- Creating a "Link" or "portal Access" on the Homepage or Header/Footer of the website
Build/Select Content that is for the Member Group-
- just like all of the content that exists to your general site visitors, you must create a page that displays content for your member groups
- Build the page, but select the Member Group attributed to this content in the Page Details
- it is best to keep all of your member group pages in the same navigational section (subpages)
