Restrict Access to User Groups

To restrict access of a content node or section of the site to one or more User Groups, follow these steps:

1. First, go to Site Config > Edit Site, then select the Modules tab. Make sure the Extranet (Password Protection) is On and click Update.
2. In Site Manager, navigate to the content that you want to restrict access to and click to edit (e.g., Members Only).
3. From the Type select menu, select Folder.
   
4. Click the Publishing tab on the Edit Content screen.
5. Locate the Restrict Access to Specific Group(s)? checkbox.
   
6. Check the box next to Restrict Access to Specific Group(s)? to reveal a listing of groups in use for your site. You can <CTRL>+Click (Windows) or <Command>+Click (Mac) any of the groups you wish to grant access to.
   For example, selecting Allow All Groups for the Members Only Page will allow users of any group access to this section of the site, regardless of which group they are in, so long as they are a member of a group.
