<p>This plugin allows you to easily mark certain pages with “Permissions” and only users with those permissions will be allowed to see the contents of the page.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Page Permissions:</strong> This plugin adds a new Permissions taxonomy to your pages. Administrators can create/assign new permissions from the Edit Page screen (you can also use the Quick Edit link). You can add/edit/delete permissions from the Permissions sub-menu under the Pages menu. Pages with no assigned permissions can be seen by everyone.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>User Permissions:</strong> Administrators can add/remove permissions from a user using the checkboxes on the Edit User screen. The All Users page has a column that shows the permissions assigned to each user.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Restriction Message:</strong> If a page has permissions assigned, the content will only be visible to users that have one of those same permissions assigned. Otherwise, the content will be replaced by a generic message or a custom message which can be defined in the plugin settings using the standard WordPress editor (including the ability to add media and formatting).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Redirect to login:</strong> Instead of a restriction message, you can choose to have users get redirected to the login page.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>This plugin empowers you to set up HTTP Authentication for your website. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a username and password to access specific areas.</p>
<p>Here’s how it benefits you:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enhanced Admin Security:</strong> Shield your admin pages from brute-force attacks by adding a login barrier.</li>
<li><strong>Controlled Crawling:</strong> Restrict crawlers from accessing your site during development, preventing unnecessary indexing.</li>
<li><strong>Post-Launch Access Control:</strong> Maintain control over admin page access even after your website goes live.</li>
<li><strong>Easy Activation/Deactivation:</strong> Conveniently enable or disable HTTP Auth without deactivating the plugin entirely.</li>
</ul>
