Secure Documents Tool

The Secure Documents tool allows you to share documents on your website that need to be protected with a password. This tool is ideal for sharing your member's or student directory, board documents and anything else that you need an extra level of security on.

The Secure Documents tool can either secure your files using the Members Database and Faculty Database functionality or you can assign a unique username and password on a tool by tool basis..

Appearance for your Users

The Secure Documents tool requires you to enter in a File Title and a File Descriptions, both of which are displayed publicly, before your users are required to enter the username and password.

However, after clicking on the file of their choosing, they will be required to enter in a username and password.

How to Add a Secure Documents Tool to a Page

1. In Site Manager, navigate to the page where you would like to add a secure documents tool.
2. In the "Select a Tool to Add" drop down menu, select "Secure Documents".
3. You will be taken to the Secure Documents Property page.
