Mark Irvine	Tuesday 13 April 2004 10:04:49 am Hi, I want to be able to limit the Anonymous user to certain sections. I have several sections defined. When I go to ->Create policy for Anonymous ->Step 1 ->Give access to module I select 'Section' from the list of modules, and click the 'Allpw limited' Button. But I get this message: 'You are not able to give access to limited functions of module section because function list for it is not defined.' So how do I define areas where the anonymous user can/can't go?
Mark Marsiglio	Tuesday 13 April 2004 11:15:34 am Instead of section, set the policy for content. I would set the content module, read function to only allow the sections that you want. This is a multi-select list on which you can exclude sections such as media, users, and whatever sections that you only want to be available to those who have logged in and proven they are not "anonymous". http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions

Hi,

I want to be able to limit the Anonymous user to certain sections. I have several sections defined. When I go to
->Create policy for Anonymous
->Step 1
->Give access to module
I select
'Section' from the list of modules, and click the 'Allpw limited' Button. But I get this message:
'You are not able to give access to limited functions of module section because function list for it is not defined.'

So how do I define areas where the anonymous user can/can't go?
