Restricting access to parts of a website is defined at the page level. Once you have created users and added them to groups, you can then control which visitors may view which page(s) on the website.

Page access restrictions are not automatically inherited by subpages beneath a parent page if they already exist. However, once a page has been assigned read access, any subsequent child pages that you create automatically inherit the restrictions from their parent page. It is possible to restrict access to a parent page while still allowing one or more of its subpages to be viewed by everybody. For example:

Image Added

1. Navigate to the page for which you want to restrict access.
2. Click [Edit] in the Properties widget and then click the "Read Access" tab on the left.
3. Select "Overrule inherited settings for this page":
