Force Frontend Customer Login Module for Magento2

The Force Frontend Customer Login Module for Magento2 redirects a storefront visitor to the Magento2 Frontend login page, if the visitor is not logged in. It is possible to configure the whitelisted urls to add custom definitions.

Use Case

Features:

• Force your guest visitors to log in first (or register), before allowing them to visit your pages and catalog
• Administration: Manage the whitelist rules by the GUI in the administration area
• ACL: Restrict the administration of whitelist rules to certain backend user groups
• Whitelisting: Define url rules as pattern to define which pages guest visitors can visit without logging in first
• Multistore-Support: Define if whitelist rules either apply globally or for specific stores
