Optional authorization to access a published book

The latest WebAsyst upgrade allows you to require authorization for a book published in Quick Pages. While specifying your book publication settings, you can indicate whether it requires user authorization:

In case “User authorization required” checkbox is selected, access to a Quick Pages book published online will require entering login and password. Only after an authorization has been performed, a user will be able to access the book in a browser; whereas before the upgrade access to a published book was open to anyone who clicks the corresponding URL.

There is no need to assign any additional access rights for a user who requires access to a published book. As long as he/she is an active WebAsyst user with working login and password, he/she will be able to access the book that requires user authorization.

You can still allow an open access to a published book by disabling “User authorization required” option in the publication setup page for your book.
