403: Privacy & Permissions

CodePen Radio

About this episode

Chris & Rachel hop on the show to talk about the expanded privacy (access) model in the 2.0 editor (in Private Beta as we speak). Private Pens have always been a big deal, but as private as they are, if someone has the URL, they have the URL, and it doesn't always feel very private. There are two new levels of privacy in the 2.0 editor: password protected and collaborators only. Passwords are an obvious choice we probably should have done long ago. With it, both the Pen in the editor itself, as well as the potentially deployed site are password protected.

Our new permissions model is intertwined in this. Now you can invite others directly to be a fellow Editor or simply a Viewer to an otherwise private Pen. If you set the privacy level to "collaborators only", that's the most private a Pen can possibly be.
