Assign and Manage Roles / Permissions
For the most part, P4 is adopting the general WordPress structure for permissions. However, some roles have been modified to allow for additional capabilities.
📚 Manage Planet 4 > Administration > Access
🔎 Where can I find this ? Dashboard > Users
Should you have the right permission levels, you will be able to access roles in Dashboard > Users, either assign individual permissions or bulk change roles by selecting one or multiple profile (see snapshot).
🤔 Key info: Roles and users can be added and managed only by Planet 4 Administrators.
