[opencms-dev] users with access rights for published website, not admin website

[Claus Priisholm]

Nope, it applies to every resource  whether it belongs to the site or 
the administrative interface (the administrative interface is basically 
just a special and protected section of an OpenCms web-site).
The same access-control is used for all parts of an OpenCms site, so 
you can easily make an extranet/intranet solution.
When you browse a site you're actually considered to be 'logged in' as 
a Guest-user and per default resources in the online-project is 
viewable by guests. Revoking that right from a resource, say a page, 
will hide it. The guest user then will have to log in as another user 
with sufficient privileges in order to see the protected page.
This mechanism automatically applies to the API functions that you use 
to build the navigation, so the protected page won't be visible in your 
navigation nor in a sitemap. And if the a user got hold of the url for 
the page anyhow, he or she would still have to provide a valid login to 
get it to show.
