Set admin permissions for editing specific pages

In this article, we’ll describe the process for granting permissions to edit specific pages within Composer. Before focusing specifically on Composer permissions, it's important to understand how all permissions work at Finalsite. Before you begin, check out the article, "The Finalsite Guide to Permissions" for a big picture understanding. Then, follow the steps in this article to set Page Level permissions in Composer.

Define Composer rights

Before an admin group can edit pages, ensure that Composer is enabled on the group’s Admin Users settings in the Admin Users module.

  • Composer permissions are based on the editor's admin user group.
  • Admin users can only be in one admin user group at a time.
  • The group they belong to will determine what that user can do on a particular page in Composer. For more about how this works, check out the article, "Move an admin to a different admin group."

Step 1: Assign admin groups in the Locations module

Have more than one domain? If you do, this step ensures that your admin groups will only be able to view the domain(s) associated with their specific location. Here's how it works!

  • Connect Admin Groups in the Locations module: Once inside the Locations module, scroll down to the section labeled Admin Groups. Select the admin group(s) who you want to view this domain.

  • Do you have district-wide admin groups that need access to all domains? Rather than adding them to every location, NOT adding them to ANY location at all means they will see all domains in the Composer navigation list. Any groups without assigned locations will see ALL domains.
