Limiting Your Community: Restricting Readership

Depending on your blog, you may want to limit your readership to a select set of people.

  1. Click the Main Menu link.
  2. Click your blog’s name, listed in the My Weblogs box. This displays the main screen for your blog. Main Link
  3. Click Secure My Blog. Secure Link
  4. Under the Configuration section, put a checkmark in the box next to Restrict access to your blog?.
  5. Configure your protection scheme (as per the information below).
  6. Click Save Configuration.

There are 3 types of protection schemes:

  • Anyone with a valid NetID and password: Only people with a valid NYU NetID and password will be able to read your blog. This is useful when you only want readers from the NYU community to have access to your blog.
  • Specific NetIDs: Gates entry to a select list of NYU community members. Useful when limited visibility is desired, say for a small research group or friends and peers
  • Custom username and password: Requires a single shared username and password for access. This is useful when readers may not possess an NYU NetID.

Note: If you have more than one blog, the restriction you put into place will only apply to the selected blog, not to all your blogs.
