Overview
Eligibility
- All staff and students (for Web CMS access control)
- Web account holders (for non-CMS York pages)
The Web Page Access Control Tool allows you to control who can access pages on the University website.
The tool produces a file which you download and add to the Web Content Management System or a web directory.
All staff and students can access the tool, but the web pages that the access control can be applied to depends on the other services you have access to (such as the Web CMS or pages managed under a web account).
Instructions
The University's Digital Communications Team have provided instructions for using the Web Page Access Control Tool as part of their "Limiting who can see a web page" guide:

Your responsibilities
It is your responsibility to restrict content on your pages appropriately, and to correctly configure the groups that require access to restricted content using the pre-defined list or custom group as appropriate.
The pre-defined groups in the Web Page Access Control Tool are dynamic. This means that as people join or leave these groups, their access to content will change as a result.
