For the most part, P4 is adopting the general WordPress structure for permissions. However, some roles have been modified to allow for additional capabilities.
Roles and users can be added and managed only by Planet 4 Administrators
Should you have the right permission levels, you will be able to access roles in Admin > Menu > Users and either assign individual permissions or bulk change roles by selecting one or multiple profile (see snapshot)
Roles overview
Here’s what each role can do in P4:
- Subscriber > Follow a page (not yet available), receive emails (according to the email marketing tool used)
- Contributor > Create, Edit, and Delete their own Posts, upload Media Files (images and documents)
- Author > All of the above + Create, Edit and Delete others Posts, moderate Comments
- Editor > All of the above + Create, Edit and Delete all P4 Pages (includes building with blocks), manage Categories and Links
- Administrator > All of the above + assign Roles, manage Redirects, edit Tags, edit Header & Footer, change Settings, Theme and Appearance.
- The P4 setup (by choice and design) does not allow plugins to be installed by site Administrators. More info at > P4 Plugins
- Campaigner > Upload files, Edit and Delete Own posts; Edit, Publish and Delete own all Campaign pages + import Campaign Pages
KEY INFO – To have stories / blogs /articles migrated from Planet 3 credited in Planet 4 authors MUST have the same P4 user ID / name of P3!
