We have previously had a page that, when published, was only visible to certain members of our staff. We used to be able to manage these accesses/permissions in the section "Users", but there seems to have been an update in the system as we cannot find this anymore. Where and how can we manage this?
Are you sure the page wasn't visible to members? Umbraco has a built-in facility to make public-facing pages only visible to people who are logged in members. You right-click the page you want to protect and select the Public Access menu item. You can then password protect the page or only make it available to members who have logged in (members are managed in the Members area of Umbraco; Users are for back-end editors).
I'm not sure, but when I myself am logged in still can't view the page (the page is supposed to be for our senior managers only which I'm not), so I can see the content within Umbarco but not the published page.
When I right-click and select Public Access on this page in question, I get a different pop-up window than on the rest pages. On all the other pages I get this image:
And when I do the same on the restricted page I get this image:
Sorry, it's in Swedish, but the point is that there are no individual members/people here but rather groups of people. I guess this means that the restricted page has "Role based protection"? So then my issue is, how do I change which members have access to the page?
Yes, you are correct, you have role based protection enabled on this page. This means that any member who is logged in and has been given the role(s) assigned to the page can have access.
It looks like you are using Umbraco 6, which I haven't access to ATM, but when you log into Umbraco backend you should see a section called Members (alongside Content, Media, Users etc). If you go into there you should see all the members assigned to the site in a tree. Find the member you want to assign permissions to, go the Properties tab and there should be a box that allows you to assign role(s) to that member.
Yes, that will be the root issue - your user account mustn't have permission to access the members area. You'll need to ask someone with that permission to grant it to you so you can see it.

Oh alright thak you!
I don't seem to have the section called Members:
Could this have something to do with my access? If so I can try to find someone with higher access than me and maybe they'll have it!
Yes, that will be the root issue - your user account mustn't have permission to access the members area. You'll need to ask someone with that permission to grant it to you so you can see it.
Oh okay, thank you so much for your help! :)
