Sometimes there are specific pieces of information you'd like to make visible on your mobile app that require an extra level of security. Providing a login will allow you, as an admin, to control access to additional information for only those who are members of your community.
This article will go over different areas of your mobile app where you can restrict visibility so that these areas can appear differently depending on whether or not the end user is logged in. We'll also show you how to configure the settings to customize the way it will function to those who are logged in.

Restrict Directory visibility
Each role may be set to be visible only to constituents in certain roles, so users must be logged in to view those profiles. In addition, any information in the profile that is set to be role-specific will only show if a user is logged in. Here's a short article on where those profile settings live in Constituent Manager: Set directory profile data visibility.
Restrict Calendar visibility
In each calendar's Calendar settings, you can restrict a calendar’s visibility in the app to specific roles so that those calendars will only show to specific people who are logged in. To change these settings, click the 3-dot More menu next to a calendar and click Settings.
In Calendar settings, scroll down and check the box next to Make available to public, then select the radio buttons next to the Roles you'd like to be able to view this calendar.
Restrict Posts visibility
In the Board Settings for each board, there are privacy settings so that boards can be restricted by role or group. If these are set, posts from those boards in the Posts section of the app will only appear to those who are in that role or group and are logged in.
Restrict Resources visibility
If you choose a private resource gallery to display, it will only display to those who have logged in and are a part of the role or group assigned privacy permissions.

Important Note
In order to restrict areas of your mobile app, remember that your end users will need to each have an account in Constituent Manager. Learn more about how this works in the article, "Managing data in Constituent Manager."
To enable the login feature for your app, select the Enable Login checkbox under General Settings in the Mobile Apps module.
Once you have enabled login, a button will display on the home screen and prompt users to log in.
