Meaning for most of the site I want people to be able to browse freely. But in the Partners section I want that to be password protected. I have tried changing the Anonymous Users role but it won't let me "allow limited" when I select 'section'. Is this possable? Thanks Glenn

"Then select allow limited" until you see the subtree selection box. You can also set secuirty on a single node. Its all there, take a look and test it out, it takes a little time to get it right and secure. But you will be ok :) --tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

Glenn MacGregor	Tuesday 27 April 2004 7:00:17 am Tony, Thanks for the info. I can't see a way to take access away from a user/role, only give access (read). Is there a way to say no access on a certain section or directory. Maybe I am not understanding you correctly, so maybe an example would work better. My Site: Root Folder -Products -Services -About -Partners Now I want any person who browses to be able to view all pages in the Products, Services and About folders. But only users who have a login and actually login can view the contents of the Partners folder. Is it possible to give me an outline of how this would be done? Thanks a million Glenn
