About Site.com User Roles

Each Site.com user must have a user role assigned at the site level, which controls what each user can do in a site. Users can have only one role per site, but their roles can vary between sites. For example, a person can be a site administrator on one site and a contributor on another.

To manage user roles in a site, you must either be the site administrator for that site, or have a Site.com feature license and the “Manage Users” permission.

Note
Note Users with the “Create and Set Up Experiences” permission are assigned the role of site administrator in a community’s Site.com site. However, they don't appear in the User Roles section on the Overview tab of Site.com Studio.

Users can have one of three roles at the site level:

  • Site administrator—Site administrators are users who can create and manage all site content. They can create sites, templates, style sheets, and pages, and also set up domains, publish sites, and assign user roles. This role requires the Site.com Publisher feature license.
  • Designer—Designers have the same control over site content as site administrators, but they can't manage domains or publish sites. By default, they can't assign roles unless they have the “Manage Users” permission. This role requires the Site.com Publisher feature license.
  • Contributor—Contributors have the most restricted access to content and can typically edit page text and images. By default, they can't assign roles unless they have the “Manage Users” permission. This role requires the Site.com Contributor feature license.

See the Site.com feature table for a detailed list of each user role's capabilities.
