User and Groups control of article page and menu view - How

[tazzydemon]

Sirs,

I am considering using Farcry on a project and being a lazy devil and not such a good CF coder I would have like to soo more extensions available. I guess I will just have to get down and dirty with code.

However one thing I might have expected to find is simpler user and groups control of page views. I can find groups with policies but no front end method of joining and no immediate method of hiding certain pages or navgiation nodes from non logged-in persons - How should I do this?

You need to remove the view permission for anonymous from the branches
that you want secured.  Right click the a folder/page within the tree
and there should be a permission option.  You can also then set
permissions for your various groups.

Try reading through this guide first:
http://docs.farcrycms.org:8080/confluence/display/FCDEV30/Security

Securing sections of the site tree is very straightforward.

Hiding navigation items from unauthenticated users has performance
issues in any system as you have to validate the users credentials
before rendering the navigation -- without making some concessions
this can be very resource intensive, especially for large menu
structures.  Certainly it can be done, however the standard generic
nav tag does not do this by default.

There is really only one thing I want to do:

Hide some menu items from users that are not "members". There is only 1 level of membership, so there might well be 2 menu structures, member and non-member. How might I achieve this?

Dear Modius (and apologies for posting directly first)

Any suggestions as to how hide nave nodes to unauthorised users. I dont want non logged in viewers to even see the navigation items. Could I create a new separate nav tree which is hidden? If so how?

Have you tried creating a separate content branch from the root?  For
example, underneath the "utility" section?
