how to make info accessible only to users?
cathzwan - October 2, 2009 - 20:05
Hello,
I am new to Drupal and after few days searching and searching, I thought of dropping this SOS maybe someone can lead me to the right direction or give me some wording for me to find this:
We would like to post some private info on our website, but only accessible to users.
For example phone list and calendar.
But I cannot find nowhere how to promote a page (or a node? or a ??) to be viewable only to members.
Really I would appreciate any help :-)
Many many many thanks in advance!
Cath.

Look at the roles: anonymous user, authenticated user, and perhaps you have created an admin (”super“) user.
For each column, you can specify whether the user can ”access content“:
Node Module > access content
[As you add modules, you will need to check off related permissions on this page.]
Check 'access content' only for authenticated users.
You will probably also want to check 'access all views' for authenticated users, because some of your content may be created 'on the fly' with Views, rather than being static pages.
Make info accessible only to users in
If you want to have lots of control over access, check out modules like ACL or Content Access.
http://drupal.org/project/acl
http://drupal.org/project/content_access
There are also (at least) three very simple modules for limited access restriction needs. A comparison:

I have since found that
I have since found that denying anonymous 'access to views' on the permissions page is not enough to stop anonymous seeing views.
For each view, you have to set access:
Basic settings > Access > Unrestricted (by default)
If you click on Access you will see choices:
None
(by) Permission
(by) Role
Choose one of those and you will get more settings.
I don't know why this is necessary, though.
