How to change how modx treats access to a private page?

I have a series of documents that are part of my "premium" membership document group on my site and currently if you are not logged in you are redirected to the site_start.

I wish to change this. I would like to achieve both of the following if a "web user" is not logged in:

1. Redirect to a specific page.
2. Instead of redirecting, present a chunk on a specific page.

For part 2 this is the scenario;

// Scenario
A user visits the ’homepage’. A video is displayed on the ’homepage’ for all logged in web users. However, if you are not logged in, a HTML message is shown instead.

Is it possible to change the way MODX treats access to a private page?

I’ve fixed this now.

1) On a "private" page (ie: a page where its restricted to a "web group") I’ve made it redirect to the "login" page.

2) On a "public" page (ie: which anyone can view) where there are parts of the website restricted to a "member" of a "web group", I’ve used the MemberCheck snippet. I’ve also, in my tests, used Personalise 2.0 and PHX as follows;

// here are some tests I did.  Test 1 does not work for some reason, but the rest are fine
// these are pasted in your content/template textarea box.

<h1>Test 1</h1>
[*phx:mo=`premium`:then=`{{chk.yesLoggedIn}}`:else=`{{chk.noLoggedOut}}`*]

<h1>Test 2</h1>
[+phx:mo=`premium`:then=`{{chk.yesLoggedIn}}`:else=`{{chk.noLoggedOut}}`+]

<h1>Test 3</h1>
[[MemberCheck? &groups=`premium` &chunk=`chk.yesLoggedIn` &default=`chk.noLoggedOut` &debug=`true`]]

<h1>Test 4</h1>
[[LoggedOrNot? &yesChunk=`chk.yesLoggedIn` &noChunk=`chk.noLoggedOut`]]
