Is there a way to grant blog writers access to edit only blog posts in Webflow, without giving them access to edit other parts of the website?
Yes, in Webflow you can grant blog writers access to edit only blog posts without giving them access to edit other parts of the website. Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a Blog Editor role: In the Webflow Designer, go to "Settings" and then "Editors". Click on the "Add Editor" button and create a new editor role specifically for blog writers. You can name this role "Blog Editor" or any other relevant name.
Assign permissions: In the editor role settings, you can specify the permissions for the role. To ensure that blog writers can only edit blog posts, assign them the following permissions:
- Collections: Grant access to the "Blog Posts" collection, which contains all the blog posts on your website.
- Pages: Restrict access to all other pages except the individual blog post template page.
- CMS: Enable access to "CMS Collection" and "CMS Settings" so writers can edit and manage blog entries, but disable access to other CMS features.
- Invite blog writers: After setting up the Blog Editor role, you can invite blog writers to collaborate on your website. In the "Editors" settings, enter the email addresses of the writers you want to invite and assign them the Blog Editor role you just created. They will receive an invitation email with a link to access and edit only the blog posts section.
By following these steps, you can ensure that blog writers have limited access to only edit blog posts without the ability to modify other parts of the website. This way, you maintain control over the overall design and structure of your website while granting specific permissions to manage and update blog content.
