Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
Possibility to force login before accessing the platform
May be against the "open democracy" ideology and all but we have modified a Decidim instance which requires users to log in before they can access any page in the system.
The reason is that the organization wanted to use Decidim's features openly within their organization but they don't want anyone outside of their organization to be able to access this information. They have e.g. idea collection there that may be a violation to employee's privacy in case that information was public but within that organization, it is OK to be visible for all.
Therefore, I think this should be a feature in Decidim, it would open up new use cases for the system as an open democracy tool for oranizations like "Let your employees participate to the decision making inside your organization".
This could be a configuration under the "system admin" panel where you would check a box which would then force users to log in as in the example screenshot.
The development of this proposal has finished
- It is funded by Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya.
- Has been reviewed by Decidim Product and complies with the Social Contract.

Yes, but it makes the experience much harder for the end users if they need to do two separate authentications. That will be a big hurdle for non technical users.
Also, this instance of Decidim is already integrated to their own Active Directory based user authentication system, so the process for them is very clear generally:
1. Go to web page
2. Click sign in
3. Enter the same credentials you use to login to your computer (this is skipped if you're not already authenticated)
4. Ta-da
Correction above: this is skipped if you ARE already authenticated
