Verwaltung der Zugriffskontrollen in der MemberPress-App

Access Controls restrict specific app content to designated members. This feature allows content visibility to be managed based on membership plans, user profiles, or custom conditions.

This document explains how to enable Access Controls, configure restriction messages, create access groups and rules, and customize menu visibility for different user segments.

What Are Access Controls?

Access Controls define which members can view specific app areas. Content such as app pages, blog posts, and navigation menus can be restricted based on membership levels or defined conditions. This functionality enables tailored user experiences for different member groups.

Anmerkung: If the Require Purchase feature was previously used to restrict content, migration to Access Controls is required. Review the Require Purchase to Access Controls migration guide before proceeding.
