Roles
By assigning roles to a user, you can control what this user can access on your site. PAGEGRID comes with these predefined user roles:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Guest | Can view the frontend of your site. |
| Editor | Can edit the content of unlocked items on your site. |

Permissions
If you want even more control, you can change the individual permissions of a user role.
Go to Access > Roles and select the role you want to edit.
Permissions that start with page- applies to all editable templates.
To enable editing of PAGEGRID items you have to give the role page-edit permission for the pg_container template. The role must also have the pagegrid-process permission enabled to save/edit items.
Templates with an asterisk (*) are configured for edit-related permissions to also inherit to children and through the page tree, unless/until overridden by a page using a different access controlled template.
You can enable view/edit/add/create access through the access tab in the settings for each template individually if you need more control (Templates > yourTemplate > Access).
Permission are only available to self-hosted installations.
