By default, all users with access to the source model have access to a page. As a workspace administrator, you can restrict access through the Manage access option in an app. Access to individual pages can also be managed from within the page, using the Page settings option. However, Manage access offers the added benefit of a centralized view to manage access to all pages within an app.

Please note that any source model must already contain model roles. If no roles have been created in the model, you will not be able to restrict access to the page. Workspace administrators can add model roles in the Users pane of a model.

You can also restrict access to a page from within the page itself.
