Editor management: create different accounts for your back office editors

Modified on Wed, 17 May 2023 at 03:14 PM

The editors’ management allows you to create different accounts for your back-office users. Each account is associated with a profile in order to define the rights and accesses that you give to a person, to one or several of your projects.

You can therefore finely manage access to all or part of the functions of your back office. This article details the different options.

1/ Add an editor

Depending on the package subscribed to OKAST, the number of accounts is limited.
By default it is limited to 3 accounts. To get more, contact the support.

 

From the home page, go to Back office users  > Add a editor  .Fill in the fields and activate its status .

Then assign access rights to your editor’s projects:

1. Either as Admin, in which case he has access to all projects, all features, and all data. Activate his status with >  .

2. Or by assigning one or more roles for each project. Check and uncheck in the drop-down list the roles you wish to assign to your editor.

3. Each item corresponds to a project.

 

2/ Defining your roles

Each account is assigned a role from this list:

1Owner
2Admin
3Project admin
4Content manager admin
5Content manager
6Editorial manager
7Business manager
8Analyst admin
9Analyst

Each role gives read or write rights to your data and will restrict access to certain features.  The table below illustrates the possibilities.
