Way to create a page that is privately viewable but where user does not enter admin interface?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I need to create a page that is viewable only by my client but where he does not enter the admin interface (with access to the Dashboard) just to view the page.

Is there a way to do that?

I think I need to create a User for him that is not an admin but how do I prevent that user from being able to access the Dashboard at all?

I just need him to view private pages and not do anything with them through an admin interface (they are tutorial pages that have to do with how to do various things under his installation of Concrete5).

Any ideas or help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Carlos

If you create a new user that isn't in the administrator group (or another group that you have given administrator privileges), they'll be able to log in, but they will have no editing controls at all.

You can then set the permissions for pages to only allow them to be viewed by registered users: while logged in as admin, visit the page, edit it and click on the Permissions button. Under 'Who can view this page?', uncheck the Guest checkbox, and check Registered Users. Save that, exit edit mode and publish. The page will not be viewable (or appear in navigation) to the public, but will able to be viewed and will appear on navigation for logged in users.
