Orchard: Restricted access pages

Question

Summary:

How can I create pages, only authenticated users can access? (Like having a password-protected directory in old-style ASP.NET sites)

Background:

Writing a small-company site, where members of the staff should be able to insert/update/delete content. The Dashboard seems faaar to complex and overwhelming for a non-tech content-author.

Idea:

Create a secured "folder" with simple edit features, only accessible after logon.

I know, I can hide/show regions,widgets, menus etc.. using layers. BUT: This would not limit access if someone enters the correct URL, would it??

How to do this? Thanks, Reinhard

Answer 1

There is a "View Content" permission exactly for that purpose. It's granted by default for everyone. You may change that freely, so only specific roles would be granted access to items of a given type.
