Role management in BOWWE

What is role manager

Role manager is a feature designed to help with distributing specific tasks between multiple people for one project. Dedicated to both small and large businesses, this will help you with maintaining your projects and sharing responsibilities within your team.

You could, for example, have a developer with access to all pages with the ability to edit content and a blogger, who’d only have access to blog articles, where they could edit the text. Thanks to the roles, you can entrust your project to multiple people to fill in every aspect of website maintenance and growth. 

Default roles

  • Owner - the person who created the project and has all permissions.
  • Admin - is the role for project leaders. It has most of the permissions, but cannot invite other admins.
  • Webmaster - for people specializing in building the website. They have most of the permissions, but can’t manage permissions or remove the project.
  • Web developer - it’s the main role to create and manage content of the project. With access to Editing and Blog management, and partial access to domain management like changing SSL certificate or domain redirections.
  • Customer support - a role for the feedback giver. Can view and comment on the project via the creator page, but cannot edit the content.
  • Content editor - for people whose sole focus lies in what’s being delivered via website. They have partial page editing, but cannot publish those changes.
  • Marketing - for SEO modules. Full access to domain statistics and can edit SEO properties.
  • Blogger - this one is pretty self-explanatory. Full access to blog editing.
  • Proofreader - to make sure everything is written correctly. They can edit and translate texts.
  • Guest - can only leave comments in the project.
The full list of roles is available on the Manage Members page in your Dashboard.

You can also see the invites that have been sent and are now pending. If you choose so, you can refresh the invite message sent to that person, or delete the invite entirely. 
In the Users tab, you can see all the existing collaborators, and you can edit their roles.
