Members Area Confusion
I have a couple questions regarding the members area.
(1) I have read that a way to create private pages in the members area is to go to ITWebMaster and create a page in the folder "Pages Unassigned", checking the Admin checkbox. I have done this, but nothing shows up in the Members area, regardless of the registered RoleType. I am wondering if someone can tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
(2) When uploading documents, I read that they can be uploaded to the Members folder rather than the main area. However, there does not seem to be any difference between these two upload areas in terms of creating document links from the members area. Is there supposed to be different functionality built into these 2 upload areas?
Thanks in advance!

Inappropriate?Hi Mike,
1) I"m going to have to get one of our support people to let you know about this one. You do need to put a link in the members area to the folder.
2) you are not able to upload documents into the members area specifically. We don't actually recommend uploading files that are sensitive. Although there are ways to protect, our database information is way more secure and is easier to make sure it is secure. Our webservers (where the uploaded files are stored) although behind a firewall, are publicly available and thus it is harder to keep them secure, while our DB is not only behind a firewall, there are not publicly available. So anything you want for members only, it is better to keep it in a member's area webpage that is stored in our DB.

Inappropriate?Thanks, David! Along the same lines as my question 1 above, perhaps you or a support person could also comment on the Admin checkbox that is available to select when you "Add a page" under a Division folder as well as under a Team Folder.
