Create an Intranet Homepage

  • Updated:

This article will show you how to create a homepage for your Intranet. An intranet homepage is similar to a page, but it has restricted permissions. 

 

Important Note

  • When you create new subpages, the permissions will inherit from the homepage. You do not have to change the permissions for the intranet subpages.
  • Do not use Save and Push Down when setting permissions for pages as it will change the permissions for all users.
