Hi Imar,

I added the location element to block access to the Reviews folder for users that are not logged in.

When I start the website and click on "Reviews" menu item, it redirects me to the login page. Is this supposed to happen? Shouldn't there be some type of message letting the user know that they do not have access to this section and need to login first?

Thank you.

No, this is by design. The resource you're trying to access is protected so you need permissions to view it. You could manually update Login.aspx and look at the query string. If there's a URL of the initially requested page there (i.e. when not requesting Login.aspx directly), you can display a message yourself.

Cheers,

Imar
