Member Portal

Member Portal

The member portal allows you to maintain a member list for your website. You can have visitors sign up at your website, invite them to join your website group, and restrict access to pages and files from your website.

Restricting and limiting member access

The member portal contains an access control list, where you can specify which members can view restricted pages and/or files from your website. This allows you to have complete authority over content you wish to display to whom.

To access the member portal

  1. Go to Roles and Permission > Member Portal from the left panel.

       
The member portal is only available in paid plans. If you're using the free version of Zoho sites, you'll need to upgrade your plan to access the member portal.

Preferences

Customize your member portal settings under preferences.

  1. Enable or disable your site's member portal.
  2. Enable or disable sign-up to your website. When disabled, users can be added through invitation of the site owners only. Site visitors won't have an option to become members through a public sign up URL.
  3. Choose Sign in Method: 
            - Default Portal to allow your users to sign in through the default sign-up page. 
            - SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) to verify the user's identity by passing one set of credentials to access different websites.
  1. Enable Email Notifications to receive an update for every new sign-up on your website
  2. Sign Up Fields: Select necessary checkboxes for the fields you'd like to add on your sign-up form.
  3. Click Save when you're finished customizing your preferences.

  1. Click OK.

After adding a group, you can easily add and export members to it.
