    Resolved [RESOLVED] Disabling a web page until logging in?

    I have a web page that will be used as an administrative page for a website. I want to prevent a user from using any of the functionality until they have logged in. How can this be accomplished? I'm pretty sure Javascript would work but just don't know how to accomplish this.

    Thanks,
    Blake

    Don't use javascript for this; it should be a back-end thing.

    What is your backend? Typically you would just set a session for the user when they login and check that session for a specific claim or permission. If they don't have that permission, return a 403 or an error message saying they don't have permission.

    It is really a question that requires you to post code and more detail.

    When my users "login" I give them a GUID (supplied from the backend code) that is used for every single AJAX post from that point forward. That's more for security...

    As for UX (user experience), you should not DISPLAY parts of the page that are not for consumption until they successfully login. That way it's intuitive to the user what is available prior to login and after login.

    My 2 cents

    For admin functionality in our apps you just dont see the admin menu options unless you have logged in as an Admin they are hidden.

    You get a different view based upon your UserRole.
