This plugin will allow you to require users to know an "access code" before they are able to access the site. This use-case for this plugin is when you're getting ready to launch your site or you're upgrading your site and need to perform QA testing before making it live.

A screen shot of what unauthenticated end user's will see is below:

You have full control over the page and the content on the page. It is an HTML page that is deployed to the root of the Community.

In addition, there are configuration options that will allow you to do the following:

• Set the access code to whatever code you want
• Allow or Disallow REST requests to be allowed while the Access Code is enabled
• Add a Custom Message to the page
• Whitelist pages that aren't blocked by the Access Code plugin
• Whitelist an IP address, or CIDR Address.
• Set the HTTP Status Code returned when access is denied.
