Private / Gated Sites

Overview of restricted-access sites and their features.

A private site is a Content Lion site that is restricted to authenticated users. Only users who sign in and have the appropriate permissions can access the site and view its content.

Private sites are typically used for internal or limited-audience scenarios where content should not be publicly available.

Common Use Cases

  • Intranets and employee portals
  • Partner or customer portals
  • Training and knowledge-sharing sites
  • Project or team collaboration sites
