Password-protected areas allow you to create secure sections of your school website that require authentication to access. This feature is essential for protecting sensitive content and controlling who can view specific pages and resources.
Creating a New Password-Protected Area
To set up password protection for your content, you must first create a password-protected section. Follow these steps:
Locate and click on the "Password-Protected Areas" section in your content management platform.
Step 2: Create a New Area
Click the "New Area" button to begin creating your password-protected section.
Step 3: Configure Your New Area
After clicking "New Area," the system will automatically create a new password-protected area with the default title "New Area."
Important: You are strongly encouraged to rename this section immediately to avoid confusion. Having multiple areas with the same "New Area" title can lead to administrative difficulties and potential security oversights.
To rename your area:
Select the area title field
Enter a descriptive name that clearly identifies the purpose of this protected section
Save your changes
Step 4: Set Up Area Content and Access
Once you have renamed your password-protected area, you can:
Add pages and features that require password protection
Configure user access permissions for this specific area
These configuration options will determine what content is protected and who can access it within your school community.
