In ReadyCMS, user accounts are pivotal for distributing data across multiple channels. These accounts come in various types and roles, each designed to cater to specific organizational needs.
Account Types
There are two primary account types in ReadyCMS:
- Client accounts: These accounts have access to the ReadyCMS domain panel, allowing them to manage their organization's staff.
- User accounts: While registered in the system, these accounts lack access to the ReadyCMS domain panel. They're typically designated for website users and other similar roles.
Account Roles
Each account can be assigned specific roles, which come with predefined permissions. These roles determine the tasks a user can perform and are often aligned with an organization's hierarchical structure.
ReadyCMS Domain Roles:
- Administrator: The top-tier access level. Administrators can modify crucial settings, manage users, and access all facets of the ReadyCMS system, including billing and eCommerce sections.
- Manager: Empowered to add, edit, and delete all content. They can also oversee users.
- Editor: Can add, edit, and delete content, but lack user management capabilities.
- Author: Restricted to managing and publishing content they've authored.
- Contributor: Can manage their content but cannot publish it.
- Moderator: Solely responsible for managing comments and reviews.
- Member: Can only preview content without any editing privileges.
User Account Roles:
- Wholesale buyer: Designated as B2B users.
- Subscriber: Marked as subscribers.
- Buyer: Regular users who've either made a purchase or registered on the eCommerce platform.
- User: Standard users.
Permissions
Administrators have the flexibility to customize permissions for each user, defining the tasks they can undertake and the features they can access.
Permissions are categorized into four action groups:
- View
- Create
- Edit
- Delete
Moreover, permissions can be tailored based on content or data type. For instance, a user can be assigned a specialized financial role, allowing them to view financial reports but restricting them from other management tasks on the website.
Tip: Assigning specific roles to users enhances operational efficiency, minimizes administrative tasks, and reduces potential errors.
