Assigning Access to a Custom Page

About this task

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. For information on adding a custom page, see Adding Pages.

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 Administrators privilege 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.

This use case starts when you have to allow only certain users to access a custom page and ends when you have restricted the access.

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

Before you start

Ensure that you have:
  • Created a custom page and added links to access the same.
