Security can be used on YSM sites to restrict access to an entire site or one particular directory, or structure group, of a site.

There are three security options available to use via Tridion: CAS, Generic, and External User Security.

  • Using CAS, the Yale University login system, access can be limited to all NetID's, YNHH IDs or only certain NetID's, a domain, or any combination of those parameters.

  • The External User Security option allows you to use Auth0 to give more secure access to users outside Yale who do not have a NetID.

The following section of instructions provide information on how to use Beatrix to apply Security to a structure group.

Security: CAS and Generic

You can use CAS and Generic security options without setting anything up in the Profile System.

For information on creating a Security component and applying it to a site or structure group in Beatrix, visit these instructions:

External User Security

Using the Beatrix and Auth0, you can set up Security for External Users and apply it to websites and structure groups in Beatrix CMS.

For information on setting up a Security Group in the Profile System, creating a Security component that includes the group, and applying the security to a site or structure group in Tridion, visit these instructions:
