What is it?

in
• Uses existing Site Manger users and
groups to determine access rights

How it works
• At publish time, TERMINALFOUR Site
Manager will add PHP code to each Access
Controlled page, and any links within those
pages.
• This code is then used to determine if a user
is logged in, and if so, what pages they may
access
