How to secure applicant profiles on my Memberstack job board from public access? Answered

Hi everyone! My memberstack site is a job board where applicants can build profiles and spotlight their portfolios for companies. I thought I gated the Applicants' profiles properly but one of my users/applicants notified me that their profile is visible to anyone on the internet. Below is a screenshot of how I have Gated Content configured.

However, I was able to access a users profile on my site by googling their name. I'm new to memberstack and building off of a job board template. Am I missing something straightforward on the gated content settings?

    Hey Andrew Baines, can you try changing the second restricted URL to just 'applicant' and get rid of third restricted URL and check if that solves the issue?

    Thanks AJ! That resolved the issue of the content being accessible to anyone. However, anyone with an Applicant account can access another Applicants account.

    I want to add another restriction so that Applicants can only access their own profile. Any thoughts on how to do this?

    Hey Andrew Baines, welcome 😇 Do you have unique pages for each applicant on the site? If yes, you could follow this guide to make it more secure and how to setup member-specific pages. Hope this helps.
