How to choose what happens when access is denied
Different sites need different denied-access behavior. Some sites want a clean 404-style response. Others want to send visitors to the homepage, login page, pricing page, or a custom upgrade page. Pro denied-access actions give you that choice.
How to choose the right action
- Use a 404-style response when you do not want visitors to know the content exists.
- Use a homepage redirect when the protected URL should quietly send visitors back to the public site.
- Use a selected page redirect when you want to explain access requirements or show an upgrade option.
- Use per-menu overrides when one menu item needs different behavior from the global default.
- Test the final behavior in an incognito browser and with a denied test user.
