Managing Permissions

Before you begin the process of setting up permissions, you need to ensure you have created the groups you will be working with in Mura. If you haven't already done so, please visit the Creating and Managing Groups section before proceeding.

Once you have established the groups your organization desires, you can begin the process of enabling and/or restricting permissions for each group, throughout the various content sections of your site. You will also want to determine which group(s) have access, or do not have access, to various modules within Mura such as the Content Staging area, Categories, Collections, and so forth.

Here are the general steps in setting up permissions in Mura:

1. Create Groups
2. Create Users and assign them to groups
3. Optionally share User Pools across various sites
4. Let Mura know which group(s) are allowed to access to each specific site
5. Let Mura know the roles/permissions each group has for Content, Components, Categories, Users, and Plugins
6. Let Mura know the roles/permissions each group has for various Modules (e.g., Staging, Collections, Comments, and Forms)
