Since the members area is password-protected, it’s great for sharing exclusive content with your members and allowing them to share their own content with each other. This helps build loyalty and create a sense of community among your customers.
Restricting pages in your site
You can restrict access to certain site pages, making sure that only logged-in members can see them. To make these pages even more exclusive, you can limit access to members with a specific role or pricing plan, even if the page isn’t part of your members area.
The default member pages in your members area, like My Account and Profile, are private by default. Any custom member pages you create will also be private automatically.
Restricting pages to specific member roles
Allow certain members to have access to specific member pages. For example, you may run a yoga studio and want to create pages just for the students, and also pages just for the teachers.
Before you begin:
Create member roles and assign them to different members.

Restricting pages to members with pricing plans

Restricting pages to members with badges
Using badges to reward your members and make them stand out? Create exclusive pages for them. For example, if you have a blog with premium content, you can set permissions so it's only accessible by members with a 'Blog VIP' badge.
Before you begin:
Make sure you've enabled badge permissions in your site's dashboard for the relevant badge. If you do not enable them, the option to restrict page permissions by badge type will not appear.

Allowing customers to access their private information
The members area interacts with many different business solutions, like Wix Stores or Wix Bookings. By signing up to your site, members get access to pages with all their previous info so they're encouraged to keep engaging.
If you're using Wix Stores, for example, a My Orders page is automatically added to your Member's Area so customers can keep track of their previous purchases. Another example is the My Wallet page where members can view and update their credit cards.
