## GitLab Pages access control **[CORE ONLY]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/33422) in GitLab 11.5.
NOTE: **Note:**
GitLab Pages access control is not activated on GitLab.com.
You can enable Pages access control on your project, so that only
[members of your project](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
(at least Guest) can access your website:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General > Permissions**.
1. Toggle the **Pages** button to enable the access control.
NOTE: **Note:**
If you don't see the toggle button, that means that it's not enabled.
Ask your administrator to [enable it](../../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control).
1. The Pages access control dropdown allows you to set who can view pages hosted
with GitLab Pages, depending on your project's visibility:
- If your project is private:
- **Only project members**: Only project members will be able to browse the website.
- **Everyone**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- If your project is internal:
- **Only project members**: Only project members will be able to browse the website.
- **Everyone with access**: Everyone logged into GitLab will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- **Everyone**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- If your project is public:
- **Only project members**: Only project members will be able to browse the website.
- **Everyone with access**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
1. Click **Save changes**.

The next time someone tries to access your website and the access control is
enabled, they will be presented with a page to sign into GitLab and verify they
can access the website.
