You must create an action inside your controller, say public function actionStaticpage(), and:

This action will handle the view rendering of the static contents you may want to show, i.e. some instructions/faq for logged users, a tutorial, etc. For instance:

public function actionStaticpage() {
    $this->render('faq');
}

You'll now have to specify that this action is intended to be viewable only for logged users. You may accomplish this by using your Controller's function accessRules(). It would be something like this:

public function accessRules()
{
    return array(
        array('allow', // allow authenticated user to perform these actions
            'actions'=>array('staticpage'),
            'users'=>array('@'),
        ),
    );
}

And that's it. You can also make your Staticpage a little more dynamic, for example by having a parameter inside it, specifying which static content you want to display public function actionStaticpage($page) and then using switch or if statements to correctly display contents.

There is good documentation on how to enable Yii's access control filter for a controller action on the guide. You will have to make a controller action that displays a static view, and limit access to that action based on the tutorial.
