The Restricted Areas module lets you create areas of restricted content and allow access on group and/or member level.
In ExpressionEngine you normally handle this with member groups. You create a group (ID 5: Hockey) that is allowed to see Hockey and then check against the logged-in member’s group:
bc.
Likewise you create another one for Football (ID 6: Football):
bc.
Now if you want to allow some, but not all, members to see both sections you actually have to create a third member group (ID 7: Hockey+Football) because one member cannot belong to multiple groups at the same time.
bc.
If we added another section we would already need 7 member groups to handle access:
* Hockey
* Football
* Soccer
* Hockey+Football
* Hockey+Soccer
* Football+Soccer
* Hockey+Football+Soccer
bc.
*The Restricted Areas module uses a different approach to this problem.* First you define areas (or sections or whatever) of content and _then you can allow individual members or member groups_ access to these areas.
h3. Sample Usage
bc.. {exp:restricted area=“soccer”}
Welcome {screen_name}!
You have been granted access.
{no_access}
Go away!
{/no_access}
{/exp:restricted}
