Hi Ben,
as far as I have understood, you would have to extend the
User-Administration in the BackOffice to create and edit Webusers.
But you can create usergroups that are derived from "Guests" and users
that belong to these groups.
"Guests" have - like Webusers - no access to the backend.
If you create a usergroup "Privileged Guests" and contentfolders that
are owned by this group, only users that are logged in and belong to
"Privileged Guests" have access to this area of the site.
OpenCms even hides the corresponding navigation-items from anonymous
users. You don't have to worry about any access-rights validation.
OpenCms does all the work for you.
Hope I could help,
Frank.
