Web Protect

 
Password Protect Directory

 

The Web Protect feature in your Control Panel allows you to restrict access to a particular directory within your account and allowing access by assigning usernames and passwords to individuals that you choose to allow such access.

 

When you click on this option you will be asked to select the directory that you want to protect. Simply click the text link of the directory name and you will be taken to the screen where you complete the specifics for user information.

 

To add a new user, simply input the username and password and click "Save." You will be carried to a screen that will confirm the new user and you can click the link in the left menu to go back and add more users.

 

To change a password for a user, simply input the username and the new password for the user and click "Save." You will be carried to a screen that will confirm the new user and you can click the link in the left menu to go back and add more users.

 

NOTE: Usernames and passwords MUST be from 6 to 8 characters long. Any less than 6 or greater than 8 will cause your protected directory to cease to function and you will receive an error when trying to enter the directory. To delete a user, select the user from the list and click the Delete button at the bottom of the screen

 

AFTER SUBMITTING ANY ACTIONS, BE SURE TO HIT YOUR RELOAD/REFRESH BUTTON IN YOUR BROWSER TO SEE THE CURRENT CHANGES.
