By default, Document Categories are made available to
everyone who has access to the Resource Library. Use the following steps to secure a Category
and limit access to permitted users.
Go to the Site
Administration menu
Click the Document 
icon to display the Search For
Documents page.
Click on the Categories Manage link to go to the Document
Categories Management page shown below.
Click on the name of the Category
you want to make private then click Edit the
Selected Category. This will
display the Document Category Management page shown below.
If you want visitors to see the Category name even though
they do not have permission to access it, set Always Show Category Name to Yes.
Visitors without access permission will receive a message notifying them
that they do not have permission to view the Categories contents. This is a great way to encourage visitors to
signup or to become a member. To hide
the Category name from users that do not have access permission set Always Show
Category Name to No.
Set Private to Yes.
When Private is set to YES the Security Groups tab section
is displayed just below the option buttons at the bottom of the page.
Check each Security Group that is permitted to access the
Category. See the Chapter on Security
for additional information including how to create new Security Groups and how
to assign users to Security Groups.
When finished click on 
and confirm save when prompted.
You may also control access to documents by limiting access
to the Resource Documents Library (see the Chapter on Security).
