To perform any action in the CMS, you must have the appropriate rights. A role is a combination of several rights.
The site administrator can create and edit user roles himself, from the administrative panel.
The exception is 2 roles that exist by default. They cannot be deleted or edited:
AdministratorsUsers with administrator rights can perform absolutely any actions to manage the site.
UserA regular user registered through the site front. This type of user does not have any rights to administer the site.
User rights
User rights are set by plugins and other functions. The administrator can only allow certain rights for a specific user role.
To do this, you need to:
- go to the "User Roles" section - sеlect a role to edit
- check the boxes next to the necessary features and click the "save" button.
The settings apply to all users who have this role installed.
Adding a new user role
When adding/editing user roles, there are 2 fields:
Role name
Any role name. This is how the role will be displayed in all places where it is specified.
System role name
Name for the database. One word. Only Latin characters, including the underscore.
