Can a collaborator in Webflow have access to the designer area like an admin, or are they limited to the editor? And can there be multiple admins in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Collaborators can manage CMS content but have no access to the Designer area.
- Admins have access to both the Designer and Editor areas, allowing site design and settings management.
- Multiple admins can collaborate on a single Webflow project.
In Webflow, a collaborator has different permissions than an admin. Here's a breakdown of these roles.
1. Collaborator Access
- Collaborators are typically limited to the Editor area.
- They can update and manage CMS content but will not have access to the Designer area.
- This role is ideal for content editors who need to make changes to text, images, and other CMS collections.
2. Admin vs. Designer Access
- Admins have comprehensive access to both the Designer and Editor areas.
- Admins can modify site designs, manage site settings, and control other user roles.
- However, they cannot edit code as Webflow does not provide access to raw HTML/CSS/JS.
3. Multiple Admins
- Yes, Webflow allows for multiple admins on a single project.
- Admins can manage site settings, collaborate in design work, and adjust user permissions.
Summary
While collaborators are limited to content management through the Editor, admins can access the Designer area and more comprehensive site settings. Additionally, it's possible to have multiple admins managing a Webflow project.
