Top Navigation
The top navigation tabs give access to the various sections of your site. Here are the tabs that may appear:
- Public - Every visitor will see the Public tab, on the left side of the window. The Public tab is for the Public section of your Web site. Visitors do not have to log in to access the public section.
- Members - Members who log in will see the MENU tab, as well as a Members tab leading to the "Members" section. The Members section includes all information that the Administrator has marked as "Members Only."
- Admin - As the Administrator, you will not only see the MENU and MEMBERS tabs, but will also see an Admin tab leading to the administration options.

Designate Sections as "Public" or "Members"
You can designate non-Admin sections of the site to be either "Public" or "Members" using the Component Manager, located in the Security Center. This will determine where you go on your Famster to edit certain areas, and where your visitors go to see them.
