Overview
Access control lets you restrict who can view specific content based on their role — for example, members only, or specific membership types. Useful for gating member-exclusive resources.
⚠️ Access control settings are only available after a content item has been saved. You cannot set them during initial creation.
Setting Access Control on a Content Item
- Open the published content item.
- Click the Access Control tab at the top of the page (next to View, Edit, and Delete).
- Configure the Role-Based Access Control Settings.
The Access Control tab — configure who can view this content
