Yes, it is possible to have multiple Administrators and Editors/Users in Webflow CMS. With Webflow's CMS, you can assign different user roles and permissions to allow for collaboration and restricted access to certain sections of the site. Here's how you can set it up:

  1. User Roles and Permissions: Webflow allows you to create different user roles, such as Administrators and Editors/Users, each with their own set of permissions. Administrators have full access to all sections and functionality, while Editors/Users have limited access and can only perform specific actions.

  2. Creating User Accounts: To add multiple Administrators and Editors/Users, go to the Webflow Dashboard and navigate to the "Team" section. From there, you can invite team members by providing their email address. Once invited, they will receive an email with a link to create their account.

  3. Assigning Roles and Permissions: After team members have accepted their invitations and created their accounts, you can assign their roles and permissions. For each team member, you can specify whether they are an Administrator or an Editor/User.

  4. Section Access Restriction: To restrict Editors/Users to specific sections of the site, you can utilize Webflow's page-level permissions feature. By default, Editors/Users can access and edit all pages. However, you can limit their access to specific pages or sections by customizing their page-level permissions.

  5. Content Creation Restrictions: Webflow allows you to control the content creation capabilities of Editors/Users. By default, Editors/Users can create, edit, and publish content across all sections. However, you can restrict their content creation capabilities by specifying the collections and pages they have access to.

By utilizing these features, you can have multiple Administrators and Editors/Users in Webflow CMS, with restricted access to certain sections of the site and the ability to create new content only within their respective sections.
