Using permissions to hide a page - do you have to log in AND out?
Permalink
I have just made a password-protected page on a club web site, idea being that particular members can access it when given the password. There's only one password, and it allows only viewing (not editing) of the page. So when you log in, there is no edit bar - because you're not editing - but also no way to see that you're logged in.
So my question is how do you log out, and should you, or does it not matter?
This is not meant to be a super-secure area containing anything top secret so I'm not worried about security, I just wondered how simple permissions works in this case as I've not really used it before. Does the system auto-log-out after a certain period or something?
Also, since I'd like just one password, if several people log in at the same time from different PCs in different locations is that going to screw anything up?
Thanks

Hey! You can create a logout button somewhere on the page. It's usually good practice to include one, but C5 will kick them out after awhile as well--especially if you're not granting them the ability to remember the password. Does that answer your question? It's pretty simple to add a logout button.
thanks, would the link be /index.php/login/logout/
and do you know the answer to the multiple login query? Can more than 1 user use the same login simultaneously?

That would be the link. There's a way to do it with PHP as well, but if you just need a link, that would be it. And no, there is no way to be logged in as multiple users. There might be an addon that lets you view what other users would see, but I'm not seeing one that quickly.
