Personalise a page for specific groups
You can show personalised content to different audiences on the same web page by using personalisation tags. For example, you could show messages on your home page to students only and alternative information to staff.
Most personalisation settings rely on a person being signed in to warwick.ac.uk. Often, people visiting your page may not be signed in. In such cases, SiteBuilder doesn't know anything about their identity; they fall into the ‘anonymous’ group. Keep this in mind when restricting important content.
To control who can view an entire page, rather than sections within a page, use permissions instead.
You can add any number of personalised sections to a page and make each section visible to any one of the following groups:
- Students
- Students in a particular year of study
- Staff
- Alumni
- Anonymous (not signed in to warwick.ac.uk)
- A web group (to make the same section visible to members of more than one group, say group A and group B, you can create a new group and add groups A and B as members of it)
- Members of a department
- Page contributors
- Page editors
- Page admins
Specifying the inverse of each of the above groups is possible. For example, you can make a section of a page visible to everyone who is not anonymous. This option is useful if you want to create a ‘Warwick members only’ section within a public-facing page.
