Users and roles overview
Users log in daily to your website’s administration interface and create new articles, personalize content for different audiences, build new online forms, or monitor the system’s performance.
Users in Xperience by Kentico work with the applications from the back end - they create content, define marketing activities, etc. A typical user, for example, adds website articles or creates personalized content variants.
Administrators create different roles to define user permissions and access to applications.
You can assign one role to more users. For example, you can have several users with a Content editor role that can add or edit articles and other website pages or update content across the website.
Administrators can also assign multiple roles to the same user. Permissions granted within each role are cumulative. For example, if a user has a Content editor role and a Digital marketer role, permissions from both roles apply.
Admins assign these roles to users, such as marketers, editors, and data protection officers.
Visitors who create their accounts in your application are called members. Unlike Users who can access the Xperience administration, members can access only the front-facing part of your application, such as a website. They can browse pages or access member-only sections of the website.
