Select with a check in the box if you wish the page to have public read access and/or public write access. This will determine who has access to view or alter your page and its contents. If you have people you'd like to give access to the page, and you have not selected public access to read, write, or both, you will need to provide them access. To provide user-specific access, click "Click Here" to add a new user. Enter a user name and password for each user (or a group of users). Click the Save button.

Note: If you disallow Public access to certain pages, such as the Discussion Page, visitors will not be able to utilize the interactive services in your site. In the example of the Discussion Page, visitors would not be able to read the discussion postings or write responsive posts. Note: Your owner name and password will allow YOU access to any pages you restrict, so you, as the owner, will not need to use the user names and passwords you set for restricted pages.
