Security and Permissions
Laurus Xpress offers 3 different levels of content security:
- Public - Anyone can view these pages.
- Private - Users are required to login in order to view these pages.
- Specified Private - Only specified users can login and view these pages.
To allow only specific users to view a webpage, click on "Site Tools" in the admin toolbar. The Xpress Public Login system must be enabled on your website, if it is not enabled you will not be able to access the page permissions control panel. Contact Laurus Development to enable this feature.
This will display the page and user permissions form:
