LiveWhale allows you to set a variety of privacy options for dynamic content that includes pages, stories, events, forms, blurbs, profiles, and blogs. The privacy options affect who can see your dynamic content. By default, this content can be seen by any site visitor, but you can also limit visibility to any user logged in via your SSO (green icon), anyone with the direct URL link to the event, or any logged-in user in your specific calendar group (red icon).

Everyone: Default behavior, content is available publicly to all site visitors.

This group (My group name) only (red icon): Content is only available to logged-in LiveWhale editors for the group.

Any logged-in user (green icon): Content is available to any logged-in user, which includes any LiveWhale editor as well as any SSO user.

Note: if someone tries to visit content with this privacy setting, they’ll get redirected through the LiveWhale SSO connection and then—if any successful login handshake is made (even if their username doesn’t match up with a LiveWhale user account)—the content will be shown to them.

Anyone with the link (green icon): Once the item is saved, content will only be available to visitors who have the direct URL. 

It’s recommended that content be for “Everyone” but there may be instances where other options might best suit your needs. For example, a specific calendar event that’s only shared with people that you don’t want to appear on the main calendar at all. Or a news story you only want to share in a marketing email.

Content with any setting other than “Everyone” will not show up in search, API results, or widgets by default. If you do want to limit certain events to logged-in users, make sure that your theming includes a way for them to login using Login Links.
