Drupal CMS: Password protect
Learn to password protect content in Drupal.
Instructions
You may want to protect one or more pages with a password so that nobody can see those pages unless they:
- belong to the LDAP group you've assigned to the password protected page(s). More information about LDAP groups.
- are allowed to see these pages with their UCL user ID
Setting up password protection for an Intranet or page using LDAP groups or UCL userIDs
- Ensure you are in editing mode
- On the editing toolbar along the top of your site hover over Structure then Menus then click on Main menu
- You should see a list of the top-level pages in your site
- Find the page you want to password protect
- To the right of the page you want to password-protect, click on the word 'edit'
- Scroll down to 'Menu fields':
If it is an LDAP group you are using to password protect a page / section, type in the LDAP group and click on 'Add another item' for each group you would like to add. If it is a user you want to give access to, type in their UCL userID in the 'User list'.
- Click on 'Publishing options - Draft (Current)' in the left-hand menu, choose 'published' from the drop-down menu
- Save
Once set up correctly, when a user clicks on the protected page / section, they will be directed to the UCL log in. If they belong to the right group/username, they will log in successfully.
