# Access custom block pages
You can customize the block page that displays when users fail to authenticate to an Access application. Each application can have a different block page.
Gateway block page
To customize the page that users see when they are blocked by a Gateway firewall policy, refer to [Gateway block page](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/reusable-components/custom-pages/gateway-block-page/).
## Types of block pages
Cloudflare Access offers three different block page options:
* **Default**: Displays a Cloudflare branded block page.
* **Custom Redirect URL** \- Redirects blocked requests to the specified URL. For example, you could redirect the user to a [dynamic Access Denied page ↗](https://github.com/cloudflare/cf-identity-dynamic) that fetches their identity and shows the exact reason they were blocked.
* **Custom Page Template** \- (Only available on Pay-as-you-go and Enterprise plans) Displays a [custom HTML page](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/reusable-components/custom-pages/access-block-page/#create-a-custom-block-page) hosted by Cloudflare.
### Identity versus non-identity
You can display a different [type of block page](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/reusable-components/custom-pages/access-block-page/#types-of-block-pages) to users who fail an identity-based policy versus a non-identity policy.
* **Identity failure block page**: Displays when the user is blocked by an identity-based Access policy (such as email, user group, or external evaluation rule), after logging in to their identity provider.
* **Non-identity failure block page**: Displays when the user is blocked by a non-identity Access policy (such as country, IP, or device posture). Cloudflare checks non-identity attributes before prompting the user to login.
## Create a custom block page
Note
Only available on Pay-as-you-go and Enterprise plans.
To create a custom block page for Access:
1. In the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **Zero Trust** \> **Reusable components** \> **Custom pages**.
2. Find the **Access Custom Pages** setting and select **Manage**.
3. Select **Add a page template**.
4. Enter a unique name for the block page.
5. In **Type**, select whether this is an [identity or non-identity block page](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/reusable-components/custom-pages/access-block-page/#identity-versus-non-identity).
6. In **Custom HTML**, enter the HTML code for your custom page. For example,
```
Access denied.
To obtain access, contact your IT administrator.
```
7. To check the appearance of your custom page, select **Download** and open the HTML file in a browser.
8. Once you are satisfied with your custom page, select **Save**.
You can now select this block page when you [configure an Access application](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/applications/http-apps/).
