Hello. Has been developed an extension or a solution to allow from the  
admin interface to control access of end-usersto a given page/tree?  
What I’d like to do is to create a “reserved” part of the site (page  
which could only be accessed by a list of users which I define  
(username/password) inside the radiant admin u/i. Many thanks in  
advance.

Luigi

Well where would you restrict access, on the public site or in the  
admin? If you’re talking about in the admin, then you might want to  
check out Page Group Permissions:

, However I don’t know whats around for user access control on the  
public side though.

Luigi,

I am very new to Radiant, but would also be very interested in the  
ability to restrict public access to certain public facing articles.  
The idea is that readers would be invited / given access to get at this  
extra content.  
If you come up with a solution please let me know. I would also be  
interested in helping with an extension of this sort, although my rails  
skills still need some polishing.

I’m also interested in this – would be great for the site I’m currently  
working on.
