Answers.Text: Some of this stuff is hard to track down in the docs, like `.getGroupByHandle()`, and requires you to go to the full [class reference documentation](http://buildwithcraft.com/classreference) to find. Generally things in there can be referenced in twig by the namespace (i.e. `craft`) followed by the service class (i.e. `userGroups`), followed by the method (.getGroupsByHandle).

Body: <p>I was wondering if someone could take a minute for a newbie to show the template code for a section index page that needs to be private - accessible only to "clients" (pre-registered as users in a private group - I am assuming).</p>
  
  <p>I am confused about the permissions in the users section of the CP as they only show permissions to edit/view assets etc.... not templates.</p>

  I was wondering if someone could take a minute for a newbie to show the template code for a section index page that needs to be private - accessible only to "clients" (pre-registered as users in a private group - I am assuming).
  
  I am confused about the permissions in the users section of the CP as they only show permissions to edit/view assets etc.... not templates.
  
  Someone asked a similar question and the response was "yes it is easy - go look at the User Model" - however I am just starting to figure all this out so need a little help!!
  
  Thank you

  Here is a basic template that requires login, and checks that the currently logged-in user is in the user group 'clients'.
  
  ```
  {% extends "_layout" %}
  {% requireLogin %}    
  
  {% block content %}
  
      {% if currentUser.isInGroup( craft.userGroups.getGroupByHandle('clients') ) %}
  
          {# Only viewable by logged in users that belong to 'clients' user group #}    
          Restricted client content goes here.
  
      {% else %}
  
          {# Viewable by logged in users not in the user group 'clients' #}
          Notice to other user groups that this content is restricted to clients only.
  
      {% endif %}
  
  {% endblock %}
  
  ```
