| Rechallenge | If a user fails the challenge, allow them to retry. Additionally fires if a valid age has passed for one age and the current content has an age of a greater value in varied ages mode. |
| Redirect failures | Can redirect users to a page or website if they fail the challenge. |

Access Settings
Each section of Age Gate can be restricted particular roles in the WordPress admin area. This can allow you to let editors manage the messaging settings, but not the advanced settings.
In a more granular example, if you are using the Varied Age option, you could restrict particular groups from being able to change it.
