Audience details page

Every portal has an auto-generated Audience details page that answers two questions: what does each audience actually see, and which username and password do I give someone to get in?

Find it near the bottom of the sidebar, just above the “Last updated” line. The link appears for editors and for anyone signed in with a sign-in belonging to the default audience — usually the client — so you do not need an editor login to hand out access.

The page is generated from your site’s structure. There is nothing to author, and it cannot be edited, reordered, or hidden.

In the editor it opens in place — your toolbar stays put and nothing unsaved is disturbed, so you can check access and carry straight on editing. Click any page in the sidebar to go back. One difference worth knowing: opened this way it reflects your current working copy, whereas the standalone page reflects the published site.

The page lists one block per audience. Each shows how much of the site that audience reaches — “3 of 5 pages · 41 of 78 sections” — and expands to the pages themselves.

Expand a page to see its sections, laid out like the reorder list in the editor. Sections the audience cannot see are dimmed and tagged:

  • Hidden — the section is restricted to other audiences
  • Draft — the section is not published yet, so nobody sees it. This is not an access problem.

A page can also be gated as a whole. When it is, the page reads Whole page hidden rather than a section count — everything on it is out of reach for that audience, even sections that would otherwise be allowed. Page-level access always wins.

Pages marked Not in menu are live and reachable by direct link; they just do not appear in the sidebar.

Each audience lists its sign-ins — the username/password pairs that reach it. Every sign-in on an audience sees exactly the same content; they exist so you can give each partner their own, and revoke one without disturbing the others.

Next to each username is a Show password button. Click it to reveal that password, copy it with one click, and hide it again.

This is a read-only lookup — it never changes anything. To add, rename, or remove sign-ins, go to Site Settings → Viewer Access in the editor.

Some sign-ins cannot be shown:

  • “Hidden” — there is a password, but no readable copy of it was stored. Expected for anything created before this feature, and for a password changed outside the portal. Set a new password in Site Settings → Viewer Access and it becomes visible here from then on.
  • Masked dots — this portal’s setup cannot store a readable copy at all (password-only sites, where passwords live in environment variables). Ask your developer.

An audience with no sign-ins cannot be entered by anyone. That is the normal state for a brand-new audience until you add one.
