Make pages require login
In Dashboard > Site & App Settings > App Access, choose public pages, login on every page, or pick the pages that need login. Paid plans only.
Decide who can see your app in Dashboard > Site & App Settings under App Access. You can keep everything public, require login everywhere, or choose page by page.
Steps
- Open Dashboard > Site & App Settings from Dashboard, or Tools on a phone.
- Find App Access: "Choose who needs to sign in to use your app".
- Pick one:
- Pages public by default. Buildy still adds login to a page when a feature needs a signed-in user.
- Require login on every page. Visitors must sign in before they see anything.
- Manually choose pages to require login. A list opens. Move pages from Available Routes to Protected Routes.
- Click Save Changes in the bar at the bottom.
- Click Publish & Share so the live site follows the new rule.
App Access needs a paid plan and an app with user accounts. If your app has no login yet, see Add user accounts and login.
Common uses
- A members area: keep the home page public, protect the Members and Downloads pages.
- An internal tool: require login on every page.
- A client portal: protect the Projects pages and give each client their own login.
Common problems
Visitors see a login page on my home page
App Access is set to Require login on every page. Switch to Manually choose pages and protect only the pages that need it.
I protected a page but it is still public
Click Save Changes, then Publish & Share. Open the live site in a private browser window to check.
