I’m about to launch my new site. However, before I do, I was going to have a 3rd party review my site, make suggestions on SEO and/or design etc.. I may further want to “outsource” certain special elements of (i.e. customize) the design with this same 3rd party or another 3rd party. I don’t want any possibility of losing the work done, but would willingly grant near full access to a “stage” site. I’d love to get guidance on how to best work with these 3rd parties (i.e. what capabilities/roles should be granted and how to grant in order to protect work done but allow modifications of a “duplicate” site. I have installed the user role editor plugin.
Hello Jeff,
Thanks for your question about user roles within BoldGrid. If you’re going to grant other users access to your BoldGrid site, then it’s best to remember that your BoldGrid website is a WordPress site (BoldGrid is a plugin for WordPress). You can find clearly defined user role definitions here. The roles are not based on the staging and published sites. Also, my suggestion is that you make a complete backup of your installation. That way, you won’t lose anything regardless of what a 3rd party does. In order to make changes to the site structures, you would need to give Administrator roles. Editors typically have access to make changes to posts and pages. The user editor plugin should allow you either adjust or create roles as well.
I hope that helps to answer your question! If you require further assistance, please let us know!
Regards,
Arnel C.
