Users and roles

Manage who can sign in to the admin and what they can do. Capell uses site-scoped roles: a person can have one set of permissions on Site A and a different set on Site B.

Add a user

1. Open Users in the admin sidebar.
2. Click the create action.
3. Fill Name, Email, and set a Password (and Password confirmation).
4. Assign one or more Roles.
5. Save. The user can now sign in to /admin.

Change a user’s password

1. Open Users and edit the user.
2. Enter a new Password and Password confirmation.
3. Save. (Passwords are stored hashed; you cannot read an existing password back.)

Manage roles

• Open Roles to create roles and choose the permissions each role grants.
• Assign roles to a user from the user’s edit screen (Roles field), or per site from the Manage site permissions action on a site’s edit page (see below).

Give someone access to one specific site

Roles are scoped per site. To make someone an editor on just one site:

1. Open Sites and edit the target site.
2. Click Manage site permissions.
3. Add the user and assign their role for this site.

The same person can hold a different role on each site, or none.

Restrict a page type to certain roles

On a page type’s configurator tab you can choose which roles may see and edit pages of that type. Users without one of the listed roles cannot access those pages.

Offboard someone

• Remove their roles to revoke access while keeping their account, or
• Delete the user from the Users list to remove the account entirely.

Notes

• Approval workflows (submit → review → approve) are provided by the optional capell-app/publishing-studio package, not by core.
• For the underlying RBAC model (Spatie teams, policies, page-type restrictions) see the developer guide: permissions and approval.
