# GitLab Pages access control
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
You can enable Pages access control on your project
if your administrator has [enabled the access control feature](../../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control)
on your GitLab instance. When enabled, only authenticated
[members of your project](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
(at least Guest) can access your website, by default:
<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
For a demonstration, see [Pages access controls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSPAr5mQYc8).
1. On the left sidebar, select **Search or go to** and find your project.
1. Select **Settings > General**.
1. Expand **Visibility, project features, permissions**.
1. Toggle the **Pages** button to enable the access control. If you don't see the toggle button,
that means it isn't enabled. Ask your administrator to [enable it](../../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control).
1. The Pages access control dropdown list 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 are able to browse the website.
- **Everyone**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, is able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- If your project is internal:
- **Only project members**: Only project members are able to browse the website.
- **Everyone with access**: Everyone logged into GitLab is able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- **Everyone**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, is able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- If your project is public:
- **Only project members**: Only project members are able to browse the website.
- **Everyone with access**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, is able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
1. Select **Save changes**. Your changes may not take effect immediately. GitLab Pages uses
a caching mechanism for efficiency. Your changes may not take effect until that cache is
invalidated, which usually takes less than a minute.
The next time someone tries to access your website and the access control is
enabled, they're presented with a page to sign in to GitLab and verify they
can access the website.
## Terminating a Pages session
To sign out of your GitLab Pages website, revoke the application access token
for GitLab Pages:
1. On the left sidebar, select your avatar.
1. Select **Edit profile**.
1. Select **Applications**.
1. In the **Authorized applications** section, find the **GitLab Pages**
entry, and select **Revoke**.
