Secure Site: control access to your site

Secure Site allows site administrators to make a site or part of a site private. You can restrict access to the site by role. This means the site will be inaccessible to search engines and other crawlers, but you can still allow access to certain people.

You can also secure remote access to RSS feeds. You can keep content private and protected, but still allow users to get notification of new content and other actions via RSS with news readers that support user:pass@example.com/node/feed URLs, or have direct support for user name and password settings. This is especially useful when paired with the Organic Groups module or other node access systems.

You can

  • manage settings at Administer >> Site configuration >> Secure Site.
  • choose which roles can access secured pages at Administer >> User management >> Permissions.
  • view screen shots, file issues, read about known bugs, and download the current version on the Secure Site project page.
