Website users and access levels

Website users are accounts that can sign in to your site’s backend (/admin). They are not the same as your personal Fluger dashboard login unless you deliberately use the same email for both.

Where users are managed

  • Fluger dashboard — site owner can open Websites → gear → Users to add/remove users and assign roles for that website.
  • Site backend — users with the Administrator role (and the Users module) may see Users and Roles to manage accounts and permissions without leaving /admin.

Exact entry points depend on your host and version.

Roles and permissions

role is a named set of permissions. Typical examples:

ConceptWhat it usually means
Backend accessCan open /admin at all
PagesView list, create, edit, delete pages
BrandingTemplate, logo, favicon, custom CSS (often split into sub-permissions)
ImagesUse the media library (folders, upload, rename, delete)
LayoutsEdit template layout defaults (widgets per layout file)
Widget layoutsEdit Scriban overrides for how each widget type renders
SettingsView or edit site settings definitions
AdministratorFull control including user and role management

Editor-style roles often include most content modules but not user administration. Viewer roles might only see the pages list.

Assigning roles

  1. Open user management (dashboard or /admin).
  2. Create or edit a user.
  3. Pick a role (or, for administrators, toggle individual permissions if your UI supports it).
  4. Save. The user must use Website backend login at https://yoursite/admin.

Security tips

  • Give Administrator only to people who need full control.
  • Use separate passwords for Fluger dashboard vs website backend when possible.
  • Remove or deactivate users who no longer work on the site.
