Privacy Options in CampusPress

< CampusPress: Guides for Students home page
< CampusPress: Guides for Staff home page

There are several privacy options available in CampusPress when you first create a blog.

  • Search Engine Blocked: if you'd like your blog to be public, but not visible to search engines.
  • Visitors must have a login - anyone that is a registered user of University of Leeds can gain access: restricts access to your blog only to staff and students.
  • Only registered users of this site can have access: this is the default option selected, and is the appropriate choice for users who want their content to be private. Users must be added to the blog with an appropriate role to be able to access it.
  • Only administrators can visit - good for testing purposes before making it live.
  • Anyone that visits must first provide this password: note that registered users of the blog will not require a password.

After you've set up your blog, the privacy settings can be changed if necessary. Go to the dashboard for the blog, then select Settings from the left hand menu. Next, click on Reading. The list of privacy options will then be available for you to change.

Note that when a class blog is created and students attach their own blogs to become part of the class blog, then all privacy settings are controlled by the instructor via the class blog settings.
