[DimaK]

Can somebody help ?
I want to make in Wordpress posts or pages, and make these pages accessible by SE but only Registered visitors will be able to read them..

Is it possible ?

I would read this first: Roles and Capabilities.

Here's a list of some plugins: User:MichaelH/Plugins/Restriction

Also review plugins with these tags:

There is a way to set google to be able to crawl protected pages.

Check your google webmaster tools or your google anylatics account to set that up.

Yes. Google bot can use username and password, read google documentation for more.

You can password protect each wordpress post using wordpress. When you create a post, on the righthand side of the gui, you can select save as draft, publish, make private. Right under that is "visibility." You can select "make private." if you don't want to do this for each post, just get a plugin that locks all your content to the outside world. btw, you don't want google to crawl your private posts, otherwise, what's the point of having a "members only" post if everybody will be able to read the cached version on google?
