Give a User Access to the CMS to Create and Manage App Content in specific Lists as a List Editor

Across the Thrive platform, there are currently four types of user:

• Organisation Administrator: Org Admins can add and manage app content in the CMS, and they can also access the Org Settings menu to manage users, reset passwords, update app settings and change organisation branding settings. You can grant Org Admin permission to another user if you're already an Org Admin. For instructions on how to upgrade a user to an Org Admin, please see "Give a User Access to the CMS to Create and Manage App Content as an Organisation Admin"
• App Editor: App Editors can access the CMS to add and manage your app's content across the whole workspace, but they don't have access to the Org Settings menu to manage user accounts, reset passwords, etc. If you are an Organisation Administrator, you can upgrade a normal app user to an App Editor if you want to give them access to post content from the CMS. For instructions on how to upgrade a user to an App Editor, please see "Give a User Access to the CMS to Create and Manage App Content as an App Editor"
• List Editor: Someone who has permission to access the CMS to edit and post in specific Lists in your app that you have granted them permission on. Anything they don't have Editing permission on will appear in the CMS as read-only.  Instructions for granting permission to List Editors is detailed below.
• App User: A normal user of your app. This is the type of account your employees will have. They can view app content, post UGC, etc, but do not have access to the CMS.

In this article, we will look at giving a user access to the CMS as a List Editor to edit and add content to specific lists in the CMS.

Let's say we have a List on our app homescreen called Health & Safety, and you would like a few people from the Health & Safety team to manage that part of the app, but not to be able to edit or post anywhere else in the app using the CMS.

You would need to start off by manually creating a new user group called something like Health & Safety Editors, and add the appropriate users you wish to belong to this group and be editors for that particular part of the app.

At the Organisation level the group will be 'Members' (because we don't want them to be Org Admins)

At the Workspace level the group will be 'Viewers' (because we don't want them to be App Editors)

But at the List level, the Group will be granted 'Can Edit' permission...

To grant that access, navigate to the List in the CMS and press the Edit Audience button then press + Add Groups and search for the group you created. Like so:

Where it asks you to select a role, choose As an Editor. Now you can click the X at the top-right to exit this window.

If you press the Edit Audience button again to check your content audience, you will see the Health & Safety Editors group listed, with Edit access for this particular list.

When anyone in this group logs in to the CMS, they will be able to edit and post in this list, but all of the other content that they do not have permission to edit will appear to them as read-only.
