Creating Pages for Registered Users or "Members-Only"
How to Create Private Pages for Registered Users
1. Create the Member pages as you would create normal pages (articles). To create a page, click on Content and select Article Manager. Click on New.
2. In the Parameters section for each page, set the access level to "Registered" instead of "Public." Save the page.
3.Create a landing page that links to all of your member pages. Click on Content and select Article Manager. Click on New. In the Parameters section, set the access level to "Registered."
4. To insert links on your landing page, select the text or item you want to link to, and click the Insert/Edit Link 
button. Save the landing page.
5. Find the URL of the landing page. To do this, open or create a new article and insert a link on the page. Expand 
Content and navigate to the "Members Landing Page" you just created. Select the page and the link to the page will be displayed at the top of the link manager in the URL box. Copy the link and close the page you opened or created without saving anything.
6. Create a menu item called "Log In." Click on Menus and select the menu you want to work with (usually Main Menu). Click on New and select User -> Login and select Default Login Layout.
7. Enter "Log In" in the Title box.
8. In the Parameters section, paste the URL of the landing page you just copied in the Login Redirection URL box. This makes sure the members see all their special links as soon as they log in. For someone to register for access they would have to click "Log In" and then click "Create Account." Save the menu item.
9. After you've created and saved your Log In menu item, click on Site and select Global Configuration. Click on System. Under User Setting, set New User Account Activation to Yes. This will require you to manually authorize people who are trying to create a new account. Save the changes.
