V6 Subsite Security in Classic CommonSpot
Table of Contents
Setting Sub-subsite Security
-
While looking at any page in the CommonSpot dashboard, click on the "Admin" button in the full-width toolbar and choose "Subsite Administration...".
-
Observe the Select Subsite lightbox; scroll and click on the [+] as needed to see the subsite or sub-subsite you want to work with; click on that subsite, so it is highlighted; click on "Next."
-
Click on the heading "Security" in the left column.
-
Click on "General Security" or "Content Security," as appropriate.
-
Find the check-box with the title "Inherit Security From Parent"; if it is not clear, you can click in it to clear ("un-check") it. That will display the expanded list of access permissions.
-
Inspect the current settings, and change those that do not match your needs; for example, you might make the changes called for in the next section. You can return to this dialog later to make changes.
-
When done, close the lightbox.
Restricting Access to a Sub-subsite
In order to establish a sub-subsite that only the pagemasters can access (for example, to experiment), do the above, with the following particular steps at step 6:
-
In "Content Security" click on the "pencil" icon to edit the rights for both "anonymous users" and "authenticated users", setting them both to have no rights.
-
For both categories of user, do not remove that category.
-
When done, close the lightbox.
