Can a collaborator in Webflow have access to the designer area like an admin, or are they limited to the editor? And can there be multiple admins in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Collaborators can manage CMS content but have no access to the Designer area.
  • Admins have access to both the Designer and Editor areas, allowing site design and settings management.
  • Multiple admins can collaborate on a single Webflow project.

In Webflow, a collaborator has different permissions than an admin. Here's a breakdown of these roles.

​

1. Collaborator Access

  • Collaborators are typically limited to the Editor area. 
  • They can update and manage CMS content but will not have access to the Designer area.
  • This role is ideal for content editors who need to make changes to text, images, and other CMS collections.

​

2. Admin vs. Designer Access

  • Admins have comprehensive access to both the Designer and Editor areas.
  • Admins can modify site designs, manage site settings, and control other user roles.
  • However, they cannot edit code as Webflow does not provide access to raw HTML/CSS/JS.

​

3. Multiple Admins

  • Yes, Webflow allows for multiple admins on a single project.
  • Admins can manage site settings, collaborate in design work, and adjust user permissions.

​

Summary

While collaborators are limited to content management through the Editor, admins can access the Designer area and more comprehensive site settings. Additionally, it's possible to have multiple admins managing a Webflow project.
