Portal Access Settings #
Portal Access Settings in FluentCommunity lets you control who can join and participate in your community. In Portal Access Settings, you have three audience control options for your community:
Everyone #
Grants access to anyone, regardless of login status. Your community’s public content is visible and accessible to all visitors.
Only Logged-in Users #
Limits access to registered members only. Users need to log in to view and interact with the community content. In Portal Access Settings under the Only Logged-in Users option, there are two additional settings:
Redirect URL: This URL specifies where non-logged-in users will be redirected when trying to access community content. It helps guide them to a different page, such as a landing page or signup page, encouraging them to log in or sign up.
Login URL: This URL is where users are sent to log in when attempting to access the community. It ensures they reach the correct login page, streamlining their experience as they re-enter the community.
Only Selected User Roles #
Restricts access to specific user roles (e.g., Admins, Members, or other custom roles). Only users assigned these roles can access the community, allowing for targeted engagement.
In the Only Selected User Roles setting for Portal Access, these options control access for specific user roles:
Notice: A Portal Wise Notice is a message displayed on the login page that informs users about important updates or announcements before they access the community platform. Type the notice into the Text field if you want to show them a notice.
User Roles: This option allows you to select specific roles (like Admin, Member, etc.) that can access the community content. Only users with these roles will be able to view the portal. Select the roles from the dropdown field.
Not Matched User Roles: A message is displayed to users who don’t have the specified roles. It informs them why they don’t have access or prompts them to take action, like logging in or upgrading their role. Type the notice into the Text field if you want to show them a notice.
Redirect URL: This URL redirects users without the required roles to a specific page, like a signup or support page, guiding them away from restricted content.
Login URL: This directs users to a login page if they’re trying to access content without logging in. It’s helpful for guest users or users without access to the main community page.
Always remember to click the Save Settings button after making changes to your General Settings to ensure they are applied.
