Assigning access to custom pages

When you add a custom page, all users can access the page. You can assign or remove permissions, to certain users, for a custom page by selecting the required privilege, community, groups, or individual users.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have created a custom page and added links to access the same.

About this task

You can assign permission to:

Permission assigned to	Description
Community	All members of the community. That is, the users and the groups that are the part of the community will have permission to access the page.
Group	Users of the group will have permission to access the page.
Privilege	Users with the selected privilege will have permission to access the page.
Users	Specified users will have permission to access the page.

Users who are not assigned permission for a custom page cannot access the page. However, the users with the API management administrators Administrators Administrators role can access custom pages irrespective of the permissions specified at the page level.

Note: When you migrate a custom page from Developer Portal 10.11, it is accessible as it was in the 10.11 version. You can assign permissions to the required users based on your requirements.

In this example, you allow access to the page Page1, only to the users who are part of the Developers community.
