Are you a primary account holder? Do you have staff or site co-owners who need access to your site or perhaps your Invision Community purchases along with you? This guide will help you set those members up with the access that they need. Areas that require access There are two core areas where staff members may need access. You can grant access to one area or both - your choice. Alternative Contact - Client Area Access The Client Area is not your site, but rather the Invision Community site. (invisioncommunity.com/clientarea) This is where you manage your community at a purchase level and associated information. You would visit the Client Area to review how you get support for the product(s) you have purchased, pay invoices for those product(s), request Support, etc. These alternative contacts can interact with Invision Community in the areas you give permission. Admin Access This is the administrator area of your own community (your url with /admin). You can grant access to the product(s) you have purchased from Invision Community, after it is installed, so that others can manage your community with you. This login is unrelated to client area access, and can only be used to manage your community at your specified url. These users have no interaction with Invision Community, they interact only with your site. Alternative Contacts To grant access to the client area, you need to do two things. First, the user must register an account in our client area (they do not have to purchase anything. They are just registering an account for you to add) You can share the following link with them: https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/register/ Second, once the user has registered an account, you can then grant them access as an ‘alternative contact’ via the client area. https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea When logged in, select ‘My Details->Alternative Contacts’ from the menu. The first thing you will see here is a list of any contacts you have already set up, as seen here. Alternative Contacts List To add a new alternative contact, click on the ‘Add New Contact’ option in the top right Once in this section, you need to add the email address of the user who has registered. Next, use the dropdown to select the purchases you wish to give them access for. If you skip this step, they will not be able to see those purchases. After you Save, the user will be able to see the selected purchases in the client area, and will be able to contact support on your behalf. In addition, you can optionally add the following permissions using the checkboxes provided Also allow this contact to view other support requests not related to the selected purchases Also allow this contact to view and pay invoices Add New Contact Admin Access Administrator access gives a user permission to access the AdminCP side of your site. This is the area in which you administer the site itself. Managing all aspects of your community such as your members, application setup such as forums, gallery and more. You can set up access to everything, or only limited items as you see fit. Please see the guide related to this in order to help you get set up

Using built in and custom blocks within the pages application, gives you a powerful way in which to build up pages with the right content for your consumers. In this guide, we show how it is possible to build a single page, showing different content to different groups of people. Our Aim Our aim in this guide is to have a single page that shows differently to people who are logged into your site, as it does to guests. To do this we are going to set up the following items Create 2 custom blocks for guests Create a custom welcome block for logged in users Build a page to show content and these new blocks Custom Blocks Our intention here is to have 2 blocks of information to show to guests, which we will display side by side, and one block which will show full width as a welcome block to members who are logged in. So to start we will go to the following location of our Admin CP, and select to create a new block Pages->Page Management->Blocks New block For this exercise we will be using the editor blocks so that we can add some custom content. New Editor Block Guest Blocks We need to ensure we give the block a recognizable name, as we will need to choose this on the front end later. We will be calling our blocks 'guest info', 'guest info 2' and 'welcome block' Block Naming Move on to the content section, and add some content for your first guest block. For the sake of this guide, we will just add an image and some dummy text Guest Block 1 Once done, click on save, and you will be given the permissions screen to add your permissions in. Here we want to add in permissions just for guests to be able to see, as when we add it to our page, we want this to be suppressed from anyone who is not logged in Guest Block Permissions Repeat this exercise again, and create another block named "guest info 2" with different content, but the same permissions, so that we now have 2 blocks we can place side by side. Member Block Now we have created our guest blocks, we are going to create a single block named 'welcome block' which will span the width of the page, and welcomes our logged in members. Create a block and add some welcoming text Welcome Back Block Once you create this and save, we want to add the opposite permissions to that of the guest blocks. We only want logged in users to see these. Logged In User Permissions That is our custom blocks created. You could then go ahead and create as many blocks as you like, showing to the groups you need them to show to. Now on to creating the page itself. Creating the page To create our page, first we will go to Pages->Page Management->Pages and sect to Add a new page from the link shown below Add Page Once we have done this, add a name for your page, and then save. In our case we will simply be calling it "Home" Home Page Once added and saved, we need to go to edit the page itself, and add our blocks on. So we will now click the page builder link which is shown here Page Builder Link Once in the page builder, we are going to use the block manager to add blocks to the page. We need to remember here that blocks will only show to those who have permission to see some content within them. This is how we will achieve a different view for different people. First we can drag over a guest signup widget. By definition, this will show only to guests. We can add a short line of text to this for now, but you can of course add anything you wish Using the Page Builder You add to this by clicking on the edit button once its dragged to the page. We are just going to add "we would love you to sign up to our community" as shown Adding Guest Content Next add in a topic feed block anywhere on the page. As blocks follow the same permission rules, it will only show guests what they are allowed to view, and our members can see everything they are allowed to also. Once that is added, we will now add some custom blocks, as shown. You can add these anywhere you wish on the page. You will see where I have added them for this example here Adding Custom Blocks Once added you need to edit each of the custom blocks, and select the custom items we created in the first part of this walk through. In this case I have used the welcome block you can see at the top, and the 2 guest blocks at the bottom. The Result The result of this, is that when you click save, you see different content as a guest than you do as a logged in member. Below are the 2 different views for our example. Here you see the guest signup block, the topic feed showing only guest available topics, and the 2 guest blocks we created Guest Page View Once logged in, you see the view is very different. We now see the welcome block for our members, and just their topic feed. Member Page View You could add moderator only blocks if you wished, or blocks for your sponsors and more to create more unique experiences for different sets of members
