Hi @akshaybhujbale 

In order to enforce authentication requirement on a node it is sufficient to add the mixin type granite:AuthenticationRequired. It is used in closed user group and it restrict a JCR node that has the mixin type granite:AuthenticationRequired defined, may optionally define an alternative login path.

Hi @Avinash_Gupta_ 

will it restrict admin user?

Hi @akshaybhujbale 

Concept of CUG is mostly applicable on the published site where end user is restricted to access some of site content. Since admin user has all the permission and access, restriction of the site content won't work. 

Hope it helps.
