Audiences & access
Audiences let you show different sections to different groups of visitors. For example, you might have an Internal audience for team members and an External audience for clients — and show some sections only to one group.
What an audience is
Section titled “What an audience is”An audience is a named viewer group. Each audience has a display name, an optional color to identify it at a glance, and typically a password that visitors enter to access it. Visitors choose their audience and enter the password when they first arrive at your portal.
Assigning a section to an audience
Section titled “Assigning a section to an audience”Hover over a section to reveal its editing controls. In the header bar at the top of the section you will see an audience pill. Click it to open the audience picker.
The picker shows a checkbox list of all configured audiences. Check one or more audiences to restrict the section to those groups. Uncheck all of them to make the section visible to everyone.
- No audiences checked — the section is visible to all visitors (no restriction)
- One or more audiences checked — only visitors who have authenticated as one of those audiences will see the section
Changes take effect in your working copy. The section will be filtered for viewers once you save and publish.
The default audience
Section titled “The default audience”On Supabase-backed sites your portal has a default audience that is set up automatically when the site is created. The default audience cannot be deleted. It is typically used as the starting point for all visitors — your developer can explain how audiences are structured for your specific site.
Managing audiences
Section titled “Managing audiences”How you manage audiences depends on how your portal is set up:
Supabase-backed sites — you can create, rename, recolor, and delete audiences directly in the portal. Go to Site Settings → Viewer Access to manage them. You can also enable or disable the password requirement from that screen — if the password is turned off, all published sections are visible to anyone regardless of audience assignment.
Password-only sites — audiences are configured in the site’s environment variables by your developer and are shown in Site Settings as read-only. You can see which audiences exist but cannot add or change them in the editor. Contact your developer to update the audience list.
