The user option for noindex sounds the best as the site admin or institution admin can't foresee what a user wants. Though thinking of smaller children, they may not completely understand what the option is for and thus, a noindex option could be forced.
This brings up the question also that we should consider public pages for certain roles, e.g. don't allow public pages for regular users, but for staff and admin. I filed wishlist item bug#1429325 for that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

In an organization that uses Mahara for assessment, you may wish to prevent users from sharing their portfolios with the public to avoid letting sensitive information be searchable in Google, but you may still want to allow them to share their portfolio with an assessor / expert who doesn't have an account on the site or use it to create an employment portfolio to share with a prospective employer who doesn't have access to the system. Therefore, it would be good if secret URLs still worked even if the site / the institution doesn't allow public pages. If we should keep the option that a site needs to be locked down for users with accounts only, then a second option should be created to not allow secret URLs on top of not allowing public pages.
