Hi Ryan! Can the closed group all work on the admin side only, or is that only the ones posting the content? --> Simplest would be to do everything admin only, where everyone has to have a user anyway, and you can control everything by setting up roles with the right ACLs.
If some users need to access the stuff from the public side, it's a little more complicated, but you don't need to use PUR. --> just create users with the required permissions. Because of cacheing, it's not enough to set ACLs, you will also need to configure URL-Based access restrictions. --> then create a URL-Based access restriction for the anonymous role that denies access to the protected parts of the site. (remember to include DMS, if that's where you store your documents). --> access to the protected parts of the site will now require login. People can log in using the accounts you created for them in advance, PUR isn't needed. Remember to either create the users on the public instance, or activate them if you created them author-side.

Juni 2011 21:47 An: Magnolia User List Betreff: [magnolia-user] Best way to add a protected (i.e. behind a login) section of a CE site I've helped a small non-profit set up a magnolia CE site and they've been running it for a few years and love it. This group has a small board of directors that they typically distribute large documents to regularly - they are wanting now to have a section of their site that is protected behind a login where they can put those documents up as PDFs and then have them be able to access them. Would this be as simple as setting up the page and then setting it up to only have read access for a certain group - then creating users for that group and giving them those login credentials? It's only going to be about 20 people. I thought about using PUR - but I don't know if they need the PUR functions for anything else. Also, the people posting the content will be doing so through the admin interface. There may be some added benefit for them to have PUR - plus their site is based on STK so PUR would add a convenient login link for everyone - but rather than let any person register and access it - they would like to be able to assign certain people access it. (But perhaps still having some content available for general people who register) Any thoughts on the best / easiest approach?
