I'm trying to set up a section of my site that will be available to logged in users only. I have removed public read access to this and granted read access to the user group that I want to be able to view this page.
The problem is that since the public read access is not granted, the page never appears in the site navigation for the users to select if they are not logged in yet! I was looking for something along the lines of having the page available in the nav, but if they don't have access to the assett, they have to log in to get further down that tree.
Would the only way to do this be by using an Account Manager asset as the 'root' for this restricted tree, forcing them to log in, or is there another way?
You could use a redirect page for the menu (with public read), that redirects to the asset you need to be logged in to view.
Here's a trick I use:
Create Redirect Pages pointing to the restricted pages with the same name (different URL) as the Restricted Pages. Grant them Public Read and DENY Read to the User Groups.
Then, when the user is NOT logged in, they'll see the Redirect Pages. As soon as they click the Redirect, they'll get prompted to login. Once they're logged in, they'll see all the real restricted pages and the redirects will disappear (because you've DENIED read to the group for the redirects).
niiiiiice!
Thanks guys!!
