Member Groups

Control Panel Location: Members ‣ Member Groups

The Member Groups area of the Control Panel permits you to manage your Member Groups. The member groups can be sorted by ID, Group Title, and Status.

Each member of your site must be a member of one of your Member Groups. These groups allow you to restrict and control what a given member is allowed to do, and which pages they are allowed to access. Each Member Group has over 50 different privileges that can be allowed or denied, giving you precise control over what each of your members can do.

Permission Restrictions

  • Access settings: Members
  • Member Groups Allowed actions: Create New Groups
  • Member Groups Allowed actions: Edit Groups
