Team

Foundaro Front has its own role system, separate from the Foundaro Hub workspace roles. A user can be an ADMIN in the Hub but have no access to Front, and vice versa. Front roles are assigned to existing workspace members from this section.

Front Roles

There are four Front roles:

ADMIN

Full access to all Front features. Can manage sites, themes, team members, settings, and publish content without review.

EDITOR

Can create, edit, publish, and delete all content types. Can manage menus, redirects, and media. Cannot manage sites, themes, or team roles.

AUTHOR

Can create and edit their own content. Can submit content for review but cannot publish directly. Can upload to the media library.

CONTRIBUTOR

Can create draft content only. All content must go through the review workflow before it is eligible for publishing. Cannot access site or theme settings.

Why it matters:

Assigning the right role limits the blast radius of accidental changes. A contributor cannot accidentally publish or delete live content. An author cannot change site settings that affect all pages.

Assigning Roles

To grant Front access to a workspace member:

1. Go to the Team section in Foundaro Front.
2. Click Add Member.
3. Search for the workspace member by name or email.
4. Select the Front role to assign.
5. Click Save.

Only existing workspace members can be given Front roles. If someone needs Front access but is not yet in the workspace, they must first be added to the workspace via the Hub Settings.

Changing Roles

To change a team member's role:

1. Find the member in the team list.
2. Click the role badge to open the role selector.
3. Select the new role and confirm.

Role changes take effect immediately. The user does not need to log out and log back in.

Removing Access

To remove a team member from Front:

1. Find the member in the team list.
2. Click the remove button.
3. Confirm the removal.

Removing Front access does not remove the user from the workspace. Their content (pages, posts, etc.) is not deleted. If they created published content, it remains live.
