Question

I am working on a website that uses Sitecore CMS. An intranet webpart was already created with restricted access.

In this intranet I’ve created a new page which should only be visible for 1 role. I have created the new role. I tried to mess around with the security of the page in the content editor (Security –> Assign). I published the changes. But no matter what I do, it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Open the sitecore desktop ( http://yoururl/sitecore/shell ), click on the ‘sitecore’ button, then ‘security tools’ and ‘security editor’.

Select the ‘anonymous user’ account in the ribbon, click on the chosen page in the tree, and click ‘x’ near ‘read’.

Then click ‘select’ in the ribbon and choose the proper role. Once again select the chosen node and allow ‘Read’ rights for the role.

Once it’s done, you can use ‘Access viewer’ app (once again sitecore button and security tools on the desktop) to check whether the rights are set properly.
