Choose Site Access
Site Access determines who can open a MiniUp Site. Choose Public for open content, Password for a shared unlock password, or Invite-only and Private for member-restricted content.
Compare Site Access modes
| Mode | Who can open the Site | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Anyone with the URL | Public reports, landing pages, portfolios |
| Password | Visitors who unlock with the shared password | Small-group sharing without individual member roles |
| Invite-only | Accepted invited members | Team portals and invitation-based apps |
| Private | Current members | Content reserved for an existing membership |
Invite-only and Private can require verified membership before protected Site files load. Public keeps the page publicly visible. A password unlock does not give the visitor a named member role for a Site Members Function.
Change Site Access
- Open Dashboard → your Site → Page → Page settings → Access → Manage.
- Select the access mode. Owner or Admin access is required to manage Site Access.
- For Password, configure the password using the password controls and save it.
- For member access, invite members and assign roles.
- Test the published URL while signed out and while signed in as the intended member.
Example: protect a staff dashboard
Choose Invite-only, invite staff as Viewers, and assign Admin only to people who should manage access. Add a Site Members Function for protected app operations. Do not embed a private dataset into a Public Site and expect a hidden navigation link to protect it.
Review data access separately
Changing Site Access does not share all datasets or automatically retract a dataset’s Public link. Tables and hosted files have their own dataset access settings. Review every dataset the Site uses, including cross-site sharing.
