Understand the difference between CMS Users and Website Users

his This short video explains the difference between CMS Users and Website Users. 

The Content Management System (CMS) is the key to maintaining your Commerce Vision website behind the scenes. So a CMS user is going to be an internal staff member (or possibly an agency contractor).

In contrast, a Web user is someone who only accesses the front end of your website - in other words, your customer.

These are 2 very distinct user types, with different roles, behaviours, and access levels, so it's critical to understand the difference before diving into User Management. 

Set up and maintain CMS Users

Hired someone new for your web team? From time to time as staff change, you'll need to add and edit users who can access your CMS. 

This video steps you through the process of creating a new user and assigning their roles.

Roles determine the user's access levels within the CMS, so if you've got someone who is only allowed to maintain product content (for example), you can configure their user account accordingly.  

We'll also cover editing and deleting existing CMS users.
