Restrict CMS Pages   -   User Guide

Chapter 1: Working with Restrict CMS Pages

This chapter will cover how to restrict your pages using the Restrict CMS Pages extension.

1.1How to restrict a page

The Restrict CMS Pages extension adds two new fields to your CMS pages, "Allowed Customer Groups" and "Allowed Customers (IDs)". These settings are explained in detail below.

CMS - Pages
SettingDescription
Allowed Customer GroupsHere you can select which customer groups should be able to view the page. By default all customer groups will have access to the page.
Allowed Customers (IDs)If you need to restrict a certain page to only one or a few customers you can enter their ID's here (separated by comma (,)).

Example: 1,200,7,50

Please note that only one of the two settings needs to be valid in order for a customer to access the page.

If you for example have assigned the customer group "Retailer" and the customer ID's 30,58, the customer most either be in the "Retailer" customer group, or have the id 30 or 58 in order to view the page.
