How to create a password-protected PageBuilder page

Kim Ethridge

I'm trying to reverse engineer a page that is password protected, that has a username and password that doesn't work, with no luck. So now I'm trying to create a new page. Basically, we want content on a PageBuilder page that can only be accessed by a specific username and password. We would provide that info to new employees so they could log in and access documents. Can anyone provide any guidance?

Hi, Kim. The easiest way to do this is simply to put conditional content on a page based on group membership. The group member(s) sees the content, but all others see login fields. Like this:


<!-- You can find the group ID of any group by going to Cons360 > Groups > Find your Group and click on it. The group ID will be along with the information about number of members -->


[[?x[[S45:5646]]x::xTRUEx::

<!-- content the people in group 5646 will see -->

::

<!-- what people not in group 5646 or are not logged in will see -->

]]


Hope that helps point you in the right direction.

Jon -

So how do you connect a username and password with a group?

Hi, Kim. Under Constituent 360, you would look up the constituent record, and then "Edit" it... go to the Groups tab, and click the Edit Group Membership link on that page. Then simply add that cons record to the group you are using in the conditional (in my example it was Group ID #5646). I'll paste a screenshot below. You could just have a Group w/ that one member in it for this page/use. - Jon

So I couldn't use a real person--they already have their own usernames and passwords. So I'd need to create a fake person.
