to protect the documents but it is a lot of work to create this level of secure
access and not very easy for our members, particularly those where memory can
be an age-related issue, to be able to access the documents. One has to
question what kind of documents are being shared on a website and why.

Perhaps on our Groups page we have a link to another page for our Group
Leaders that we want them to be able to access but not the membership at
large and certainly not visitors. Perhaps GLs want a place to share venue or
coach costs and facilities, banking and invoice payment processes, and have a
place to store forms such as Accident Report forms. Depending on the
information it could be appropriate to password protect the Group Leaders
page.

Password protection is not just about securing information. Editors and authors
using u3a sites should be made aware of the password protect limitations and
encouraged to consider what information they wish to protect and why.

Self-Check: Password protection
Choose any page from your training demo site and password protect it with a
password of your choice. In Site View access the page and check that you did
indeed have to use the password that you had set and then return to edit mode
and unprotect the page.
