| title: Restrict Access to Authenticated Users Only
 | |
| ---
 | |
| Let's say you have a route that you want to restrict to logged-in users; maybe you have a `/profile` page that lets your users fill in some information about themselves, but it wouldn't work if they weren't logged in. Open **/client/app/profile/profile.js**, and add `authenticate: true` to the options passed to _$routeProvider.when_ like so:
 | |
| 
 | |
|         $routeProvider
 | |
|           .when('/profile', {
 | |
|             templateUrl: 'app/profile/profile.html',
 | |
|             controller: 'ProfileCtrl',
 | |
|             authenticate: true // restrict to authenticated users
 | |
|           });
 | |
| 
 | |
| This way, if the user isn't authenticated when they try to access the `/profile` page, they'll be redirected to your login screen to authenticate before continuing to their profile page. |
