Types of User Roles on Shopblocks


Currently there are two types of user in the Shopblocks content management system:

Admin: An admin user can access any part of the admin system and also add and remove other admin users.

Content Manager: A Content Manager user is able to access BlockLab for design, and the Content area of the site for page and content creation, along with blog post creation. This level of user is unable to access anything to do with customer/order/financial data.

Order Manager: This role is ideal for individuals responsible for managing and processing orders, as they will have exclusive access to the orders manager.
