Important Options

🔒 Access Control

Default behavior is fixed: only logged-in users can access /log-viewer.

• If user is not logged in, package redirects to /login.
• If user is logged in, package allows access.
• This access rule is enforced in package controller logic and does not depend on per-project auth config toggles.
