Protecting Entries

There are two ways to protect an entry:

1. The More Actions drop down menu (on the button bar in the edit entry screen). This drop down menu will be activated once you have saved your entry, hence create your entry and save it as a draft. Once you have saved the entry, click the drop down menu and select Protect Entry(ies) and press Go

   

2. The other method of protecting entries is through the Entry Listing screen. Select the entries you wish to protect, click on the More Actions drop down menu on the button bar (at the top of bottom of the screen), select Protect Entry(ies) and press Go.

   

This method is useful for protecting multiple entries at once but note this method applies the same protection to all chosen entries.

Either method takes you to the protection screen.

You can view a list of protected entries by clicking the List Protected Entries link at the bottom of the entry listing screen.

Protecting Weblogs

There are two ways to protect a weblog:

1. You can protect individual weblogs by clicking the Protect Blog link under Plugin Actions on a blog's main menu.

   

2. Alternatively, you can mass protect weblogs from the Weblogs screen in System Overview. Simply select the weblogs you wish to protect and choose Protect Blog(s) from the More Actions drop down menu. Note: This method applies the same type of protection to every weblog chosen.

   

Either method takes you to the protection screen.

Protection Screen

From this screen, you can select the protection method for the weblog or entry. Select the protection method (password, Typekey or OpenID) and enter the necessary information:

• For password protection, simply enter a password and click Save

  

• For Typekey protection, enter your readers' Typekey usernames into the text field, one username per field. If you have created a Typekey Protection Group, you can enter group: followed by the group's name to grant access to users within the group. If you need more text fields, simply click the More link and more text fields will appear.

  

• For OpenID protection, enter your readers' OpenID URLs (the http:// part is optional) into the text field, one URL per field. If you have created an OpenID Protection Group, you can enter group: followed by the group's name to grant access to users within the group. If you need more text fields, simply click the More link and more text fields will appear.
