As your website expands, you may need to assign specific roles to employees for efficient management. Most team members won’t require complete access to the entire back-end of your website.
The Admin Role is essential for managing users and systems. Admins oversee user accounts, including creation, updates, and password resets. They configure system settings, enable features, and manage integrations for optimized performance.
Website administrators and their permissions are key components of a website’s security. Admins are the people you allow to log in to the back-end management area of your website. Roles are their functions, and their permissions define what authorizations those functions have.
Establishing these admin roles and specifying their permissions is important if you have other people managing your website, such as newly hired employees, outside agents/contractors, a team of more than 2-3 people, etc. Protect your website’s security and integrity by limiting your administrators’ back-end access.
As the website owner, you will first have the option to assign admin accounts to pre-made default roles such as the ones listed below. Alternatively, you can create a new custom admin role, for example, Billing Specialist. This admin role does not need access to every part of your website’s back-end.
Admins can create, update, deactivate, or delete user accounts. They are responsible for resetting passwords, assigning roles, and resolving user-related issues, ensuring seamless access and functionality for all users.
