  Hi,

  Can anyone help? I would like to create a website that has some pages that have specified user only access. Can I do this by creating “private” pages and then “inviting viewers”? Or do I need to do something else?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Howdy @2ponders!

  The best thing to do in your situation would be to make the page “Password Protected”. When you do this, people that click to visit the page will have to enter the required password to view it. You can distribute this password to the people you want to have access.

  Here is the support doc on Page Visibility:

  Thanks! Have a great day!
