Hey guys,

I am wondering if there’s an extension that would allow me to setup  
different areas of the website that require authentication. I would  
be able to configure the users (and what areas are locked off and  
require access) in Radiant.

Thanks,

–

I don’t think so. In the past some threads on the subject suggested  
doing the authentication in the http server. Both apache and lighttpd  
allow  
it easily.

Ya, we just wanted to have it integrated with the Admin UI, and I  
suppose we still could but we might end up writing one then.

Thanks man,
