There may be some content which you want to publish on your website that is not visible to the general public but you want to make accessible to some users. In this case, you can determine the content to be "Special Content"*

There are three steps to enabling the special content. 

1) Change the dispay status of new or existing pages to be "Special Content"

2) Create a user role that has the "Special Content" capabilities

3) Determine which users are to have the new Role which gives them special content capabiltiies

Step 1

The "Display" tab has a new option now which will allow you to determine that a page is to be deemed "Special Content". Please note that any child-pages that have a parent page which is set to "special content" must also be have a display status of "Special Content". Child pages do not default to the same status of their parent page. 

Step 2

Under the "Administration" menu, go to the "Roles" section. You may have an existing "Role" that you want to provide Special Content capabilities to, or if you want to setup a new Role for example it could be Dealers or Members. For this example, we will refer to the a new Role called "Special Users" - Please note for those who use our Membership module, that special content is not currently provided to any active member. 

Step 3

For any existing users on the site, do a search for them using the "Users" menu under the "Administration" menu. When you have found the user, use the "edit" option to open the user details. Then on the "Role" section, select the new role for "Specail Users" as referred to in Step 2. Note if a user already has an existing Role, you can "add" this new role as well to their account.

Once the above steps are complete, the users which have been given this new Role with special content capabilities will need to log back in before they see the 'Special Content' pages.

 Please note this term "Special Content" may change to "Restricted Content" in the near future.
