Creating Private Pages That Require Login

Overview

Webmasters need to add a minisite to their School website that requires a login and is only accessible to people registered on their School site. This feature enables sharing information that should not be available publicly.

Prerequisites

You have a School Loop account with Webmaster rights. 
Note: If not, you can ask any Webmaster to provide the same rights to you. 

Solution

1. Log into your school loop account with Webmaster rights.
2. From Toolbox, select Site Center.
   Note: If this option is missing, you do not have webmaster rights. 
   
   
3. Click Add New and select Minisite.
   
   
   
   
4. On the new page:
   • Enter a name for the minisite.
   • Mark the Require Login option.
   • Select the Location in Map - it can be either before one of the existing minisites or at the end.
     
     
5. Click Submit.
   
   
   
   
6. Add at least one page to the minisite you created.
7. Once the page is created, from the Site Center, select the minisite and click Manage Minisite.
   Note: The newly created page is displayed under your minisite.
   
   
   
   
8. On the Minisite Center, click Publish.
   
   

Confirmation

1. Once the minisite is published, click Logout.
   
   
   
   
2. Your school homepage is displayed; click on the minisite link and select the created page.
   
   
   
   
3. The Login Required message is displayed. Log in to your school loop account.
