Termly’s User Management feature allows account Owners and Admins to invite additional users to collaborate on one or more websites in their Termly account.
When adding a user, you can assign them a role based on the level of access they need. The available roles include Owner, Admin, and Editor.
This article explains the difference between the Admin and Editor roles.
Admin Access
An Admin has access to all domains in the Termly account.
Admins can:
- Access all websites on the account
- Add or remove domains
- Add, delete, or edit users
- Access account and billing management
Admins are best suited for team members who need to help manage the overall Termly account, including users, domains, account settings, and billing-related areas.
Editor Access
An Editor has limited access compared to an Admin.
Editors are given access only to specific domains selected by the Owner or Admin.
Editors cannot:
Access billing information
Delete the account
Add or remove domains
Add or remove other users
Editors are best suited for team members, clients, developers, designers, or other collaborators who only need access to specific websites in the account.
Main Difference Between Admin and Editor
The main difference between an Admin and an Editor is the scope of access.
| Role | Access Level | Can Manage Users? | Can Access Billing? | Domain Access |
| Admin | Account-level access | Yes | Yes | All domains |
| Editor | Limited website access | No | No | Only assigned domains |
When Should I Use Each Role?
Use the Admin role when the user needs broad access across the account, including all domains, users, billing, and account management.
Use the Editor role when the user should only access specific websites or domains. This is useful when working with clients, developers, designers, marketing teams, or other collaborators who do not need full account access.
How to Give a User Access to Specific Websites Only
To limit a user’s access to specific websites, assign them the Editor role.
When adding the user, select Editor under Role, then choose the domains they should be able to access under Select domain access.
You can also change a user’s role and domain access later from the Users page.
