Having a private site will limit the access to the site/pages and any media files (images, documents and , etc.) within the site. A user is required to login log in using their NetID to view the private site and will be prompted to do so when accessing a media file directly. When a site is set as private, all media files are moved to a private folder thus changing the URL.
