Is it possible to create a page that is password protected?

I want to create a page with resources that are available only to a specific group of people. Can this be accomplished?

Official response from C.J. MinsterCheng

Absolutely. Every page of a NationBuilder website can be made as public — or as private — as you'd like. When editing a page, go to Settings > Page settings. In the bottom right-hand corner there is a drop-down menu for who can view the page.

who can view a page in page settings

From there, you'll have the option to make that particular page visible to:

Anyone
Anyone who is logged in
Members
Control panel user
Admins

Be sure to click the "Save page" button after making changes.

Note: it is not possible to limit page views to a particular membership level or to a particular customer permission set.

It would be nice if this wasn’t the case
“Note: it is not possible to limit page views to a particular membership level or to a particular customer permission set.”
Any plans to implement this?

How can I add a membership number (external ID) option to the login page, so that members who don’t have an email (sadly about half of our membership) can log in to the nation?

To me, permissions are totally different than “creating a password protected page.” The former requires the admin to spend a lot of time creating a subset group with the right permissions and adding people, one by one as necessary. Creating a true “password protected page” allows admins simply to provide a password to all involved. Is there are way to do THAT?

This FAQ was written in 2013 before custom permission sets were possible. As has been noted, the options are now Anyone; logged in; Members; Control panel users; Admins. It is not possible to limit page viewing to a particular type of membership or a particular custom permission set. I will update the answer.

Dear all,
I have the same options as Todd (Anyone, logged in, members, control panel users, admins). It is also not possible to assign the permission set staffer to people. Is it possible to reactivate this permission set in order to restrict access to pages only to staffers? Alternatively, is it possible to restrict access to permission sets that I created myself?
Best regards from Germany

How come I don’t have all of these options under the “Who can view this page?” drop-down

Anyone;
Anyone who is logged in;
Supporters;
Members;
Interns;
Leaders;
Staffers; or
Admins.

I only have the options

Anyone;
logged in;
Members;
Control panel users;
Admins.

You absolutely can. You’d just need to give each of those people one of the permission levels above (ex: make them ‘Members’). Then set the permissions for that page to ‘Member’ and it would be available only to those folks.

It’s not possible, however, to make pages visible only to people with specific tags (i.e., ‘restaurant owner’ and ‘coalition member’) — though you can use tags to facilitate batch updating of a group of people with specific permissions levels.

Thanks. I should have been more specific. We want to create a password protected area that certain people who have signed up can access. We have a coalition, and part of the coalition is restaurants.

We want to provide restaurant-specific information that can only be accessed by restauranteurs who have joined the coalition.

We want access restricted to only those who BOTH a.) have joined the coalition and b.) own a restaurant (not those in other industries, such as grocery stores). Is this possible?
