Hello guys, i'm a pretty new user of this amazing software.
I'd like to know if it's possible having a browse form visible for guests users (without authentication) and other forms with authentication (this is the part i know).
Thank's

Hello andrea763,
Yes, you can do this. You will need to create an access level for guest users and then a guest user account with this access level.
In the access level, you can specific the form which is the landing page (the 'Home' form for the access level). When a user with this access level logs in, this the form to which they are directed.
To provide a guest login which bypasses the login form you can specify the user name and password in the URL. Have a look at
https://wiki.nubuilder.cloud/index.php?title=Login#Auto_Login
Remember that this password is retained in a browser's history and so you need to consider security implications. Make sure that this account has limited access - just the forms etc. you want to make available to it.
There is also a 'one use only' password token that can be used in URLs - let me know if you want to know more about this.
And let us know how you get on.
Neil

Hi,
The token works just like the password except it will work only once. It is probably just as complicated and inelegant as the first solution, with a bit more work to do first. I cannot really think of a way you can access nuBuilder forms without a) the form having an an access level and b) it being opened via a logged in user account. If you are concerned about the URL with all the parameters, you could always put it somewhere and then access it via a redirection.
Sorry,
Neil
