1. Users & Roles

Managing users on your website is a key component in providing an optimal user experience and enhancing the functionality of your website. In this guide, we explain how to use your CMS to create user roles, assign permissions, and manage registrations.

User roles are a critical part of your website's functionality, defining what each visitor can or cannot do on your site. This should not be confused with team members of your workspace. When we talk about users, we refer to the visitors to your site. The user roles correspond well with membership blocks, a feature that determines access permissions.

Creating user roles is the first step. Navigate to the CMS menu and select 'Users'. Choose 'Roles' and click on 'Add New Role'. Let's use 'Subscriber' as an example for a role. Click on 'Add Role'. You can always edit or delete the role if needed. Each label you create here can be assigned to membership blocks later on, controlling access permissions.

Once you have your roles set up, you can manage your users. Usually, visitors sign up via a registration form on your website, and their information is automatically listed in your 'All Users' section. However, you can manually add users too. To do so, select 'Add New User', enter the required details, and assign the role ('Subscriber', in our example). Contact details like phone numbers can also be included.

As more people register on your site, their details will populate the 'All Users' list, where you can make edits as necessary. This process helps create an organized and controlled website environment where user interactions are streamlined, leading to better user experience and website performance. Remember, the power of a well-managed website lies in your hands.
