Publish your content to the private Group

When publishing new content, you have the option on the Publish screen to assign a Group for the content.

The Site Group is the default Group to which all public content belongs. To make your content private, delete the Site Group from the list of groups, and add your private Group.

When published, your content is now accessible only by the group members when they are logged in to the live site. If a non-member were to navigate to the URL of the private content, a blank page will be displayed with a message asking the user to log in.
