User Creation

Webiny allows you to add multiple users to the application with different access permissions to the Page Builder. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a user group with custom access permissions to the Page Builder. Then we will create a user within that user group.

As an example, we will create a user group with the following access permissions:

• Permission to view, create, and update all the page categories in the Page Builder.
• Permission to view, create, and update all the menus in the Page Builder.
• Permission to view, create, update, publish, and unpublish all the pages in the Page Builder.
• Permission to view, create, update, and unlink all the templates in the Page Builder.
• Permission to view, create, and update all the block categories in the Page Builder.
• Permission to view, create, update, and unlink all the blocks in the Page Builder.

We will do this in 3 steps:

• Step 1: Create a user group.
• Step 2: Define access permissions.
• Step 3: Create user within the user group.
