Anonymous users (that is, individuals who are not currently logged in to QED) cannot edit any pages, nor can they access pages in the Princeton:, Course:, or Project: namespaces, but they can view pages in other namespaces unless specific restrictions are in place.
Restrictions can be imposed in a variety of ways. One approach is to limit access to a logically-defined group of pages — see Help:Restrictions for details.
Another approach is to to flag specific pages.
The "Restricted:Princeton" flag
On QED, any page can be flagged to prevent anonymous users from being able to view it. Currently, this can be accomplished by adding the following text anywhere on the page: {{Restricted:Princeton}}. This also has the effect of including a one-line notice (see Template:Restricted:Princeton) at the point of insertion. However adding this text to a media file description page (i.e. a page in the Image: namespace) does not restrict access to the underlying media file (see below).
Removing the {{Restricted:Princeton}} text removes the restriction, and so it may be advisable to add write-access restrictions as well.
Please note:
- flagging a page in this manner does not over-ride other access restrictions that may apply to the page;
- to prevent anonymous users from viewing a media file description page as well as the underlying media file, simply add the following text: [[Category:Restricted]]
- the mechanism for flagging pages to be restricted to logged-in users may change.
