Version 1.4.4: Access Control

Version 1.4.4 introduces a detailed access control on the page level. You can restrict access of each page to users and/or to userroles now. You can also customize the restriction notice and wrap it into a notification box. Optionally you can also use a horizontal line to cut the public content on a restricted page.

If you have activated the page restrictions, then you will see two new fields in the meta-tab of each page:

Restrict access to certain roles. Select the minimum role that should get access. All higher roles will have access, too.
Restrict access to certain users: Add a username to restrict the access to a certain user. Several users can be added with a comma.

You can combine these new features with the registration plugin introduced with version 1.4.3 and create restricted content for registered users only. The final piece of the puzzle is the subscription plugin. The development will start soon and we will try to release the plugin in the first half of 2021.

Keep on publishing!
