How to Create a Page Protected with a Log In

In this article you will learn how to create and configure login pages, manage user registration, and control access to your application.

Understanding Login Pages

A login page controls access to your application's content by requiring users to sign in with valid credentials. Login pages are marked with a lock icon, indicating that all child pages and views are protected.

Important: You must enable users in your application before implementing login functionality.

Creating Login Pages

Add Login Protection to Pages

You can add login requirements in three ways:

1. Create a new login-protected page
2. Add login protection to an existing page
3. Create a single login page for your entire application in Settings: User Logins

New Login-Protected Pages

1. Select "Add New Page"
2. Toggle on "Protect Page" after naming the page
3. Select an option for new user registration
4. Select which logged-in users can access the page

Protect Existing Pages

To add login protection to any page:

1. Click the ellipses (...) next to the page name
2. Select "Protect Page with Login"
3. Select an option for new user registration
4. Select which logged-in users can access the page

Note: Adding login protection creates a new parent page that manages access settings.

Managing User Registration

Registration Options

Choose from three registration settings:

• Yes: New users have immediate access upon registration
• Yes, Pending Approval: New users have access after an Admin approves the request
• No: Only logged-in users that can currently access the page, or are given access via a user role, can access the page

Registration Form Configuration

Every registration form requires:

• Email field
• Password field
  • Google Single-Sign on can be added in Page Settings: Access

Access Control Settings

Permission Management

Control page access by:

• Allowing all users to access the page
• Restricting access to specific user roles

Removing Login Protection

1. Click the dropdown arrow next to the page name
2. Select "Remove Login"

Warning: Removing login protection affects all child pages and views. Test changes in a copied application or copied pages first.
