Page access and Administrative View

Overview

Wild Apricot will display content and menu items on a page based on the current users 'Page Access' or permissions as determined by their membership level or administrator permissions (see Managing site administrators.

When anyone lands on a Wild Apricot based website they will see the default public view. (the only exception is that if they have logged in before and selected the option 'Remember me', they will be logged in automatically)

Once they login - everyone logs on using the same login box- they will either be taken to a members only area or the administrative area of Wild Apricot (see diagram below).

Administrator will also have the ability to switch between Administrative view and 'Member' view of the site (see Administrative and Member Modes).

Website/Account views

• Public visitor - any one who comes to your website and has not logged in. This person can only see public pages, which are set to be visible (See Page visibility)
• Member - a logged in visitor from your member database. Each member belongs to a certain Member level. Each member can access his/her own profile (See Member - edit profile) and use other online self-service functions. Depending on Member level settings, member might also have access to Website Pages with Restricted Access. (Again, only pages that are set to be Visible).
• Site administrator - a person who has administrative access (See Managing site administrators). This person has access to the site administration menu and in its website section can see all of the pages - visible and invisible, member-only and publicly accessible.
