Page Types and Access Control
Learn about standard and profile pages, and how to control user access in your Live App.
Page Types Overview
Standard Pages
Choose between two standard page types:
- Public pages: Allows access without login
- Protected pages: Requires login and supports role-based access
Knack offers various page types, each with unique capabilities:
-
Start Page: A starting point into your app. A start page can be either a parent page or a standalone page.
-
Parent Page: A page that has other pages (child pages) that it links to.
-
Child Page: A child page is linked to another page and cannot exist on its own.
-
Protected Page: A page with a login element that password protects its child pages by requiring users to log in for secure access.
-
Details Page: Designed to display detailed information about a single record in your app. It is commonly linked to by grid, list, and search elements.
-
Single Record Page: A child page capable of displaying details elements, edit forms, or connected records when it has knowledge about a single record.
Profile Pages
Specifically designed to manage administrative user tasks. Unlike other pages, profile pages are not included in the page menu and have their own dedicated user menu.
- Let users update account settings and passwords
- Enable user access request approvals without Builder access
The user menu displays these pages separately from your main navigation menu, streamlining account management for logged-in users.
