Redirect Author Access Denied

[roberth55706517]

We have a client that wants to send users to a different page other than the standard AEM "Access Denied" page when users somehow try to navigate to the Author form of an AEM page by changing the URL. Is there a way to trap this and redirect the user to a different URL?

See this AEM documentation:

Typically if someone doesn't have access to something they get a 404.  If that is what you mean, then you can incorporate a custom 404 page on the author instance only that gives a friendly message rather than the default error page.

I'm not quite sure if that addresses what I'm looking for.

What I am talking about is when someone who is not authorized to edit AEM pages, setting, or assets somehow access a URL that takes them to a page used for editing and is directed to an internal "Access Denied" page.

I'll give that a try.
