Authorization

Some organizations may want to limit access to their public site to only members or donors by requiring a password to gain access. In the Authorization accordion, you can set the password for your site and change the image and text that appear on the login page.

Once a password is set, all visitors to your Public Access site will be required to enter the password to gain access, including yourself, other staff, and volunteers. Once visitors enter the password, they will have access for up to 12 hours before being prompted to enter the password again.
