Before You Begin

This tutorial shows you how to create a custom page and set user access to the custom page.

Background

If you are a content author with Create and Edit Custom pages permission, you can create multiple pages and assign those pages to specific application roles and users. You can use your custom page as a default home page.

You can enter a description for the new custom page, define categories, and specify a category for the page. The custom page description and category are optional. If you are creating multiple pages, you can use the category option to group related pages or to manage access.
