Create a restricted page

Use a restricted page for content that should not be publicly accessible on your project portal. You need to be logged in with an account that can create and edit pages. See Log in to get started.

Create a new page

1. Open Content in the navigation toolbar.
2. Choose Add a page, or select Page from the Content dropdown menu.
3. Enter a title and add the page content.

Restrict access

1. In the settings sidebar on the right of the page editor, open Access.
2. Check Restricted.
3. Save the page with Restricted checked.

Page editor with Access expanded and Restricted checked

The Access panel indicates that readers need the Restricted role. Being logged in alone is not sufficient.

Set the restriction before publishing the page so that its content is not made public first. To restrict an existing page, open it for editing, change the same Access setting, and save your changes.

Check access

After saving, verify that the restriction works as intended:

1. Open the page URL in a private browser window where you are not logged in. Confirm that the page content is not visible to anonymous visitors.
2. Check that an intended reader can access the page using their own account. If they cannot, ask your portal administrator to check their permissions.

Removing a page from a menu does not restrict access to its URL. Use the Restricted setting to control access.

Check linked files separately

Do not assume that restricting a page also protects files or external resources linked from it. Check access to each linked resource before using the page to share confidential material.
