Has anyone created gated content in LO?

This is done using the Security Category on the content in LO (see  Edit Attributes on PageBuilder pages.)


I'd first create a new SC for your content. This is under Setup. You may need access from support or your admin to see this menu.


On the Category Permissions tab of your new SC, edit the Content Viewing permission. Add an override, and give the groups Site Visitors and Any Registered User the "Cannot View Content" permission.


Now any content marked with your SC cannot be viewed by normal site visitors, registered or not.


Now give your desired users access. You do that by creating a group, and giving is the Security Mode of User Security Group. You can then edit the Group Permissions, choose Content Viewing, and add an override to allow viewing for your Security Category. Now anyone in that group can see your content (if logged in.)

Note, this works for Admin content too. 


I have my administrators sorted in groups by their department, and a bunch of Admin Dashboard pages each with their own Security Category. With the proper viewing permissions each group can only see their version of the dashboard, so each department gets just the charts relevant to their tasks.

It didn't prompt me to log-in in either instance. 


edit: I also don't use LCMS, so someone might have to chime in if this works differently there. I suspect that something is just not right with permissions. It's a little tricky at first.

If you're using LCMS, why not put the page in a subfolder of the main folder it is in and then lock the LCMS page so only logged in users can see it?
