Step 5:  Assign Page Permissions

Select the access roles that are required, if any, to view this page.  If any application-defined role is selected, then the end-user must have that role in order to access the page.  When clicking the menu bar item, the Sign In page is displayed if the user has not already signed in.

Selecting page permissions is similar for all authentication and authorization types.

• Active Directory authorization allows you to configure security groups and domains as roles.

• SharePoint authentication allows you to select a site collection / group pair or web application / site collection / group triple.  In the latter case, your application grants access to a page only for members of the group within the specific web application, otherwise any member of the selected site collection / group will be able to see the page no matter which web application.

Note:  Removing permissions in the Pages step does not remove those set for individual controls.  You must remove security settings for individual controls manually via the Property Sheet.
