-Because <tt>NewPost</tt> can only be accessed by authenticated users, we add a page configuration file <tt>config.xml</tt> under the directory <tt>protected/pages/posts</tt>. The configuration specifies that guest users cannot access <tt>NewPost</tt> and <tt>EditPost</tt> which is to be introduced in the next section.
