Question:
Can we limit which CMS collection each of our editors can update?
Product:
Wix Studio CMS
What are you trying to achieve:
We have a number of CMS collections, and would like different people to maintain their own collections without inadvertently updating other collections. How do we allow each editor to only maintain specific collections we’ve assigned to them?
What have you already tried:
Looking at roles, it seems more to do with guests who visit the front end of the site, rather than editors/contributors helping us maintain the site.
Additional information:
We are a volunteer organisation so need to limit the ‘damage’ any one person can accidentally do. IE we want our fundraisers to be able to update just our events CMS collection, but not be able to go into the web page static collection and change the main site info
Hi.
There is a member role specific function you can write using velo code.
For the update dynamic page, you can show the item result for both visitor and users but only the specific roles like “fundraisers” will see or can be edit using input elements in the live site!
Alternate option,
You can assign collaborators roles to limit which feature they can use from WIx Dashboard!
Thanks Mike
I was hoping not to have to code this.
Is it actually possible to limit collaborators to specific collections? I thought I’d exhausted that route, but good if its there and I missed it.
without the code,
It’ll take some time.
First Way,
You may need to create “read only” dynamic page and “read & write” dynamic page which allow some collaborators to be able to edit the items or add the content while the other visitors will only able to view the “read” only pages!!!
Second Way,
Click the dots on the Home page and click add collaborators.
Fill the emails you want to invite.
(Make sure to only fill per their role)
Here, Wix have created some example roles for you. As “CMS editor and admins”
or if you don’t want any of this, there is a custom roles you can limit as you like
I hope this will help you!!!
Thanks Mike. Yes the second one is where I’m at already, but I want to limit them to a single collection. Giving CMS admin or editor allows them to edit all CMS collections which is not ideal.
