Preview and access levels can be used together.

An example login prompt, when you are logged out.
After logging in, access levels come into play. Now the system knows who you are, and which access level you have. For example, if you didn’t purchase a VIP ticket, you can’t fully access any content that has a VIP access level tag… But you can still preview it! The inaccessible page looks just like it did in preview. When you try to interact with it (for example, adding a session to your calendar), you’re prompted to upgrade for full access to the piece of content.
What if a piece of content was never previewable? (You can set individual pieces as “do not preview” using the configurations below.) In that case, the VIP content isn’t previewable even after logging in. When you try to open the inaccessible content you're immediately prompted to upgrade.
