Permission Denied (401)
Show your users a 401 page when they try to access an unauthorized page.
Overview
A 401 page is an error message shown by a web server when a user tries to access a resource without proper authentication. It indicates that the request lacks valid credentials, such as a username or password, and prompts the user to log in or provide authorization.
In Softr we call this page Permission Denied, but you can change this to whatever you like - the functionality will stay the same. The page cannot be deleted or removed except by disabling Login functionality in your app’s User Authentication settings.
To access the Permission Denied page/block:
- Ensure Login is enabled in the User Authentication settings.
- Click on the Pages menu
- Select the Permission Denied page from the Utility pages section
- Click anywhere on the block itself to open additional settings.
Content
Click on the Content tab to change how the block should function, the image/icon, and the text that should be displayed to the user. You can also turn the button off/on and change where the button should send the user.
Styles
Clicking on the Styles tab will open up panels for changing the page background color, the font colors and sizes, and the button styles.
