Our website we want to have a page employee.com where employees can login and see pricing sheets, Please help with instruction on how to protect this page and folder with pricing pdf. which will be folder employee/pricing

Note we only need to protect employee.html page and folder employee/pricing and want to make sure we do not protect whole site but new to all of this and want to make sure we get it right first.

Hello Ralph,

The program will allow you to protect single pages and/or whole folders or entire sites. It all depends on what settings you give to each person.

To make the program work you just need to create a Website Profile for that site (new profiles for each new site is all you need, don't need new profiles for each page, just the domain itself).

Once you have that created you should be able to click the Add User button. Create all the users you want there using whatever system you plan to use for ID's and Passwords. You can create one account with just one ID and Password and share that to all people, or create separate ID's and Passwords for each user (this is my suggested way for better user management).

Then once you have the account(s) created all you have to do is click the tree of files or folders on the left and choose which one(s) you want to protect for each user. To do this just highlight the file or folder on the tree on the left, then highlight the person on the list of users you want to setup, then press the Grant Access button at the top and it will add that file or folder to that person's access list at the bottom. When you press any person in your list you will see all the files and/or folders at the bottom that they have access to and can easily add more or remove them from that area also.

Please let me know if you need more assistance and good luck :)
