Creating password protected blogs

One of the most frequent questions we get about our new blog feature in Famundo for Organizations is if teachers can make their blogs password protected, so it is NOT visible to the general public. The answer to this is YES, just like everything else in Famundo, there are multiple levels of security.

Let me explain how this is done.

First thing you need to do it to add a Member Group. This will create a username and password that your students can use to log in to view your blog.

Go to Setup > Organization Settings > Members

Click on Add > Add New Group Member

Login Name: this is the username for logging in.

Name: give this group member a name.

Password: this is the password for logging in.

Confirm Password: confirm your password.

Click on Save

Now, you can proceed to create your blog, which only your newly created Members can view.

Click on the Blogs tab on the top banner.

Click on Add Blog (you can also create a new blog by clicking on Add Article)

Assign to: you can assign this to your school or any other user (this means if it is Edit Access = Private, only the Assigned to user can edit the blog)

Name: enter a name for your blog.

Edit Access: enter who you will allow to edit this blog.

View Access: All Staff and Members only (this will insure that the public will not be able to view this blog)

This blog will be viewable by those with Member credentials and above. The public will not be able to view it.

Your students can now visit your Famundo site, log in with the username and password you created above, and view your new blog.
