Page Security Administration Setup
Page Security allows you to set permission to a group of users that are currently using your site. This is how you can display specified content to specified users, for example securing a section of pages for dealers information on pricing not to be seen by the general public. Securing a particular page by giving authorisation to a certain group will only allow a logged in member of that group permission to view the secured page, this security applies to all pages that are a child of this page, making it easy to secure whole sections of your website.
This page shows you the specified page on your site that a particular group is allowed to view and whether or not this group is also given authorisation to edit the secured page.
