Can I set permissions directly from the Wix Editor?

Yes, but it’s limited. For fine-grained control, you need Velo code.

What happens if a user manually enters a restricted URL?

Menus don’t block access by themselves—you must also use Wix page permissions.

Can I apply this logic to buttons and sections, not just menus?

Absolutely. The same `show()` / `hide()` logic works on any element.

Does this slow down my site?

No—Wix runs the code after user login checks. The delay is negligible.
