Hi, I have a requirement wherein i have to create loginid and pwd at the login page.(SP 2010) The site is displayed with login option for the users on the home page itself. users who login will be able to navigate all thorugh the site and other users will be restricted to general sites. I need to display login username for all the pages the users visits. how should go about creating the login page(as where i should keep the userid and pwd,where the ctrls need to be placed etc) i have leftnav wherein i would display general links for the normal users and users logged in will view all the links. can anyone explain in details about the above two issues.

Hi JoeBlack, Here is a blog about creating a custom login page for SP2010. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2010/07/09/creating-a-custom-login-page-for-sharepoint-2010.aspx And GuYuming has provided the step to hide the list in navigation pane based on user role, please take a look. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/d095dbe9-a9a1-46b5-a8ea-92020ca010e2 PS: Please go to SharePoint 2010 forum to ask question about SharePoint 2010.
