User Permissions

With Agility User Access, you're able to add or delete users as well as grant specific permission based access to the users in your Instance.

What Are Permissions?

When adding Users to your Agility Instance it’s important to consider what Role that user will have in relation to the management of your instance and content. 

Choosing the correct Roles and Permissions ensures they have a safe and streamlined environment to work in when viewing or editing content and can’t accidentally do something they shouldn’t be able to do. To ensure this, we recommend starting with the minimum permissions required and adding additional Roles or permissions as necessary. 

Available Permissions

These are the base-level permissions available in Agility CMS. They can be used to create Custom Roles (only available to Enterprise customers) and are also used in our built in Roles that you can find below.

Contribute - Grants a user access to create something, and edit what they've created, but not something created by someone else

Edit - Grants a user access to change something

Approve - Grants a user access to Approve or Decline something that has been requested for approval
