Speaking of permissions...
This feature allows managing access permissions to specific platform resources. It allows assigning permissions to specific users, roles and groups, except for the administrator user.
The administrator user always has full access to the company’s contents; therefore, such permissions do not apply to this user.
News! Starting with the Crystal Lake update (1.7.1), it is possible to grant access permissions to specific Control Panel features to users who are not administrators.
Permission options vary depending on the system resource type; they can be classified as view, change, or deletion, among others.
Permissions are defined by the administrator user.
Check out the available permission options for each feature in:
