How to Grant Website Editor Access (Content Editor Role)

What the Content Editor role is

The Content Editor role lets a member edit your co-op's public website pages — and nothing else. They cannot view your member list, access billing, or change co-op settings.

Use this role when you want a volunteer or parent to keep the website updated without handing over the keys.

Content Editors can:

  • Edit and save website pages
  • Preview published pages

Content Editors cannot access:

  • Member directory or family information
  • Billing, payments, or membership plans
  • Co-op settings or other admin areas

How to assign the Content Editor role

Step 1 — Go to Members

From the Admin panel, click Members in the left sidebar.

Step 2 — Open the member's profile

Find the person you want to give website editor access. Click Manage on their row.

Step 3 — Select Content Editor and save

Scroll to the bottom of the role list and select Content Editor.

Click Update Role. A green confirmation banner will appear: Role updated to content_editor successfully.

The member can now log in and edit your co-op's website pages.

What the Content Editor sees

When a Content Editor logs in, they land on the Website Pages view. They see only the website section — no member data, events management, or billing screens are visible.

From here they can:

  • Click Edit on any page to open the page editor
  • Click Preview to see how a page looks on the public site
  • Click New Page to add a new page to the website

How to revoke Content Editor access

To remove website editor access, go back to the member's profile (Members → Manage) and assign them a different role — typically Member for a standard co-op participant or Guardian if they are a family account holder.

Click Update Role to save the change. The member will no longer have access to the website editor the next time they log in.
