In Modera Webfront you can grant access to admin panel to people involved in updating your website. They will be given user name (login) and password, and you can control their level of access to the system. Users' access level depends on the user group they belong to. You can have unlimited number of user groups, each set up differently. One user can be assigned several groups depending on the things he/she need to be able to do in the system.
Please note: There should always be a group with full access for website administrator and for Modera Support in case some technical issues need to be handled or some advanced set up has to be done. Normally, when your website is handed over to you, there are already some user groups set up. The full access administrator user group is usually called Root.
Remember: If you move a user to a different group his/her access level might change. Some features in the system might become forbidden. You can always contact Modera Support for more information on the topic.
To access user groups in the admin panel, find and click “Tools” section on the left vertical black bar of Admin panel. Choose “Groups” under “Tools" section.
You will see Groups list with specifications admin panel access indication.
To add a new Group click on green “Add new group” button at the top right corner.
To remove a Group click red "Remove" button ("bin" icon) next to selected group from the list.
Remember: only users from the Root group can delete a group.
To edit a Group click grey "Edit" button ("pencil" icon) next to selected group from the list OR click on selected group to start editing.
After a group detailed view opens, you can edit all the needed group settings:
Group name: set a group name.
Access admin area: means that users from this group can access admin of your website. When checked module list will be displayed so you can choose which parts of the admin panel should be visible/accessible to users from this group. When this checkbox is not ticked, it means that user cannot access admin panel. He/she will be able to access password protected pages on live website or on-site editing options (you can read more about on-site editing here).
Can publish content: if checked, allows a user group to publish content on Website. Please note: "Can publish content" checkbox can be activated only after "Access admin area" is checked.
After Access admin area is checked user group can be granted access separately per selected modules in extra settings view displayed. You can choose if this user group can add new content in selected module, modify or delete existing content, and publish changes made.
Use checkboxes to set access permissions for user group. (Read more about user permissions settings here)
Access Cron scripts: if checked, allows a user group to launch cron scripts in the website settings.
Access Site setting: if checked, allows a user group to access website settings: Tools -> Site settings.
When done with changes, click “Save & Return” green button to save and update all changes. Changes go live immediately on save.
