I have a little portal which is still in development but it must go public. Some parts of nodes and objects structure are still empty or are filled with "lorem ipsum", i want to hide this parts from public but leave it for further editions. There are two problems: - how to hide node(and subnodes tree) from public view but leave it for logged in editors? Will it be enough if i set proper users rights(disable anonymous access, grant permission for editor role)?- How to prevent search engine from indexing this hidden parts and showing it in search results?

Your problem can easily be solved using sections. More info here http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/concepts_and_basics/content_management/sections
Create a section and add content to it. Then add permissions to groups and/or users that you want to give access to that section.

Thanks, but how it affects search engine? nodes in this "hidden" section wont be show search results?

It might be easier just to hide the content in the admin - either in the "locations" box or using the contextual popup menu in the Content Structure menu (look under Advanced - Hide/Unhide).
This will prevent the pages from being seen on the user siteaccess as long as that setting is not overridden (show hidden nodes in site.ini.append.php).

If the anonymous user group doesn't have access to the section the result shouldn't show nodes in that section.
