Hi
There are two kinds of Users:
Manager Users and
Web Users. Manager Users are - as the name indicates - users that have access to the manager interface. That sort of User you would call "Admin".
Web Users however, are users that visit your Website.
The
Manager Permissions and
Web Permissions allow you to create "user groups" and "document groups". You can add multiple users to a "user group". Documents are added to document groups whenever you edit a Document and assign groups to it.
By editing the "User/Document group links" you’ll define what kind of users have access to which document groups.
Confusing? It’s simpler than it sounds
Edit: Since you’re the only manager user, you can skip the whole manager part and only focus on the web-user setup.
Here some quick steps you could take:
* Create a new Document Group: eg. "ProtectedWebPage"
* Create a new Webuser Group: eg. "PrivilegedWebUser"
* Add the document-group "ProtectedWebPage" to the user-group "PrivilegedWebUser" in the "User/Document group links" section
* Create a new Webuser and make him a member of the "PrivilegedWebUser" Group by klicking the appropriate checkbox in the "Web access permissions" Section of the "Create Webuser" Dialog
* Create Documents or edit existing Documents and add them to the "ProtectedWebPage" Group
After that, all Documents that belong to the ProtectedWebPage Group are no longer accessible if not logged in. Therefore you should have a "unrestricted" Webpage with a login form. You can use the "WebLogin" Snippet to display the login form.
