You can control the visibility of who can see and access your projects on your site.

There are two options for restricting access: 'private projects' and 'password-protected' projects. Each of these options provides a different level of security and method to access them.

These options are useful when you want to engage with external stakeholders, citizen panels, focus groups, internal staff, or other closed groups.

Private projects and 'password-protected' projects.

Each of these options provides a different level of security and method to access them.

	Private Page	Password Protected
Members needs to be registered?	Yes	No
Bulk Upload of members	Yes (upload a group – CSV File)	Not required.
Share password	If we set up user account, we need to share their login password with members (unless already set up )	Share page password via separate email. Need to store password for future reference.
Group Sizes - Best	Small to mid size groups	Small to large size groups
Level of security	High	Medium – as any files (images) added to password-protected pages are still accessible to anyone with the URL of the file, meaning your content may not be entirely confidential.
