In eCM you could secure a piece of content but it would still show up for users who weren't logged in, as well as for logged in users who didn't have access.
It seems that with WCM if you don't have access to content, you don't see it (unless the link is hardcoded).
Is there a setting that anyone has found that switches this on/off?
Thanks for your response Mary.
That is the behavior we're looking for.
He's been following the documentation and has thus far he's been using "Access Settings" to restrict the content that way.
We've gone ahead and turned both of those checkboxes on and then just the "Content requires user to log in," leaving Access Settings on both times. Neither time it showed up.
Why use access settings? Because we only want a small group of members to be able to access a content, but want to anyone to see the 'benefit' of belonging to that group.
Are you talking about tagged content? I know that in eCM you could display a list of tagged pieces of content and it would still show "members only" content in the list, but when a non-member (or someone not logged in) tried to click on the content it would notify them that they did not have access. Is this what you are referring to?

Ok, then it sounds like you need to use the properties Mary mentions above. Technically the Access Security groups of "All Members" and "Authenticated Users" should be equivalent to those two properties but there appears to be a bug with the ContentTaggedList content type which is preventing this from working. I think you will need to set the Access Security back to something standard like Everyone Read in order to make this work. You might want to submit an SMR about this. It seems like you could have a scenario where say a silver member is logged in and you want them to see the title of some content that only gold members have access to but there is no way to do that since tagged lists are not respecting access settings. It also looks like there is a problem where the members only icon is not showing up once the page renders within many of the templates. To fix this, you can add the following css class to your site's 01-iMIS.css file:
.MembersOnlyContent
{
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
background: url(../../AsiCommon/Images/AtomPainter/iMISMembersOnlyTool.gif) no-repeat center center;
}
Thanks for your help and digging into this Courtney.
I guess he already put in a ticket so I'll have him update it accordingly.
Thanks again!

Courtney's suggestion is a good one, can it be done in the 1700 template? Which .CSS file should be edited?

Additional access control properties
WCM lets you secure Navigation Items independently from Content Records: security for a Navigation Item can hide the item from certain users, and the security for a Content Record can prevent the content from showing up in Search results and Tagged Lists.
But each Content Record has two additional properties to control access:
These options let you protect content while allowing site visitors to see the link. Is this the behavior you want?
