Secure Pages

Secure Pages is an add-on module for the Govstack content management system (CMS). This feature allows you to create a members section of your website and control access for authorized viewers only. For example, you could use this for an internal website or intranet.

Please contact your Account Manager if this is a feature you'd like to add to your website.

Setting up Secure Pages

Before we can set up your Secure Pages module, you'll need to send us the following information:

• The name of the members group(s) (i.e., the name of the group who can access the members section)
• The sitemap for the members section
• Whether or not the Secure Pages will allow public registration
• If the login button to Secure Pages will be visible or hidden to the public on the main website
• Which user group(s) should be given access to the members section
• Which users should be assigned, or cross-assigned, to the "Sensitive data" user group

Registration page

Unless otherwise requested, all Secure Pages will have a registration page. The registration page includes a register form that will need to be completed to become a member of your website. Admins will need to approve membership registration prior to the new member gaining access to the content on the secure pages.

Login page

To access the content on the secure pages, users will have to sign in via a login page. The login page will also include a link to the registration page for those who haven't registered yet.

Successful logins will send the user to the main page in the Secure Pages area. 

User permissions

You will have at least one admin user who has access to assigning members to the sensitive member group. You can learn more about user permissions by visiting our users and permissions section.

Restricting access

Secure pages are only accessible for registered and approved members. When set up, secure pages will restrict public access to the section, and only provide access to the specified member groups. Members of the public who try to access the secure pages will receive an access denied page.
