Control access to Flipbooks

Controlling access to your Flipbooks can be done in a variety of ways.  Access control is defined at the Folder level and will apply to all Flipbooks that belong under that Folder.

About Flipbook security

Flipbook Security options range from simple password protection, to email harvesting, to requiring a valid username and password to login, to leveraging the feature along with API for custom access solutions. There are options where you can leverage Uberflip's own Subscription System or connect to your own database of subscribers for a custom solution.

Please note that not all features are available to all pack types - check your account permissions or contact us if you're not sure.
