Users & Roles

CMS access is controlled by roles. There are five CMS roles, plus none.

Role Summary
owner Above Admin. Cannot be demoted, disabled or deleted by anyone else. Can transfer ownership.
admin Everything except acting on the Owner. Manages users, webhooks and the audit log.
editor Manages content and content-type/form structure.
author Creates entries; edits and deletes only entries they created.
viewer Read-only.
none A website/application account with no CMS access. The default for new sign-ups.

The first account created on a deployment becomes the Owner.

Open Users in the admin dashboard (Admin and above). You can change roles, disable accounts and view or revoke a user’s sessions. A change is rejected if it would leave the deployment with no Owner and no Admin.

Disabling an Admin and transferring ownership both require re-entering your password.

Website registration never grants CMS privileges. See Authentication.
