Close your site for anonymous usersΒΆ

This recipe describes how to configure Kotti to require users to log in before they can view any of your site’s pages.

To achieve this, we’ll have to set our site’s ACL. A custom populator will help us do that (see kotti.populators).

Remember that the default site ACL gives view privileges to every user, including anonymous (see Security). We’ll thus have to restrict the view permission to the viewer role:

from kotti.resources import get_root

SITE_ACL = [
 (u'Allow', u'role:viewer', [u'view']),
 (u'Allow', u'role:editor', [u'view', u'add', u'edit']),
]

def populate():
    site = get_root()
    site.__acl__ = SITE_ACL
