Section permissions screen
Choose who can reach one section of a website, and what they can do with it. This is how you let a team see or test their part of a large website without giving them the rest. Open a section, then Settings, then Permissions.
You give a person or a role one level:
- Can view - see this section and its results.
- Can contribute - also make decisions for it, such as approving a word or ignoring an issue.
- Can test - also start tests of it and any page in it.
- Can admin - also change its settings and who has access, and delete it.
Each level includes the ones before it. You never need to give someone two levels.
To add people, click the field above the list. It lists the people and roles in your account, so you can pick without typing; type to narrow it. Pick as many as you like, choose their level, then press Add. To change someone's level or remove them, use the menu on their row. Changes apply as soon as you make them.
Anyone who can admin the section or its website can change this list. If you lower or remove your own access, you are asked first: if you do not have it another way, you will not be able to give it back to yourself.
Access through the website
Everyone with access to the whole website has the same access to each of its sections. Someone who can test the website can test every section of it, for example. They appear under Also has access with the reason, such as Can test this website. To change that, use the website's Permissions screen.
People who can admin, test, make decisions for, or view every website, and account administrators, are listed there too. Change that on the user or role, under Websites.
The whole website is not a section here: when the whole website is selected, Permissions shows the website's own list.
