Page Security Settings

At the top of the Page Properites section of the Edit screen is the Security dropdown. Use this setting to tell EditMe who can view and edit this page. If you don't see the Security dropdown, you may not be logged in as an administrator. By default, EditMe sites are set to "Public View/Administrator Edit". That means that anyone can view the site, but only Administrators can edit the content. You can change this setting in the Site Settings. See the Site Administration help section for details.

If you leave the setting as "Site Default", EditMe will use the default security setting you specified in Site Settings. To change the setting, select an option from the list. For example, "Public View/Public Edit" allows anyone to edit the page, while "Registered View/Administrator Edit" requires users to register on your site before being able to view the page, and limits editing privileges to Administrators.

Here is a table explaining the different options:

Access Level	User Type	Can View	Can Edit
Public Read/Public Write	Anonymous Browsers	Yes	Yes
	Registered Users	Yes	Yes
	Administrators	Yes	Yes
Public Read/Registered Write	Anonymous Browsers	Yes	No
	Registered Users	Yes	Yes
	Administrators	Yes	Yes

	Registered Users	Yes	No
	Administrators	Yes	Yes
Registered Read/Registered Write	Anonymous Browsers	No	No
	Registered Users	Yes	Yes
	Administrators	Yes	Yes

	Registered Users	Yes	No
	Administrators	Yes	Yes
Admin Read/Admin Write	Anonymous Browsers	No	No
	Registered Users	No	No

In addition to these options, EditMe provides powerful access control customization using Custom Policies. If you have defined one or more custom policies on your site, they will also be listed in the Page Security dropdown. See Policies for more information.
