Security, Remote Authentication and Subscription

Controlling access to your Flipbooks can be done in  a variety of ways.  Access control is defined at the Folder level and will apply to all Flipbooks that belong under that Folder.  Options range from a simple password, to email harvesting, to requiring a valid username and password to login.  

Configure Access Control on a Folder

To configure access control for your Flipbooks:

1. Click on "Flipbooks > Manage Flipbooks" in the Top Menu Bar
2. Choose the Folder to which you want to control access (if you only have 1 Folder, it will already be chosen)
3. Click on the "Edit" button in "Security or Subscription" section

Choose the Method of Access Control - Select Use-Case

Depending on the level of account you have, you'll have access to a variety of ways to control access.  All options available across all account levels are listed below.  

Once you select your use-case, complete all configuration steps and click save to implement your access control.  

1. Passphrase:  Use a passphrase/password or access code to protect content
2. Email Harvesting (passive) - (Desktop Support Only):  Visitors will have access to a "Subscribe" call-to-action button where they can voluntarily signup for email alerts
3. Email Harvesting (forced):  Visitors are required to fill out a form prior to gaining access to read your content
4. Subscription Management (Free): Visitors can signup for free and choose their own username and password
5. Subscription Management (Payment Required):  Require users to pay for access to the content through a Paypal Integration
6. Remote Authentication:  Leverage your own member database or website login to control access.  A custom script that will link a Flipbook login to your own database is required
