Restricted content requires clear communication explaining access limitations and next steps. The default restricted message displays when members encounter locked content within the app. This document explains how to configure message content, customize call-to-action buttons, and enable content teasers for restricted pages.
Understanding Default Restricted Message
The default restricted message appears when users attempt to access content protected by Access Rules. This message communicates why access is denied and guides users toward actions that grant access. Individual Access Rules can override the default message with custom content, but the default provides consistent messaging across all restricted content without specific customization.
