Setting security on a per directory basis

Glenn MacGregor	Tuesday 18 November 2003 5:25:27 am Hello, Is it possible to make certain directories/locations require a password login instead of the complete site. I have seen that "requireUserLogin" directive will do this on a site basis but I want to do it on directory basis. Is this possibel through ezPublish 3.2-3? Thanks
Pål Øystein Carlsen	Wednesday 19 November 2003 12:12:12 am Yes this is possible. You must create a new section for each directory/folder. Then assign each section to its relevant folder. You can then set different rights for each section, typically restrticting viewing of articles of a given section to a certain user type. I have done this, and it works perfectly.
