How to Set Up Enterprise-Level Permissions in Webflow

Step 1: Access Your Webflow Dashboard

Log into your Webflow account to reach your dashboard where all your projects are displayed.

Step 2: Navigate to the Project Settings

Select the project for which you want to set up permissions. Open the project, then click on the "Settings" tab in the upper right corner to access the Project Settings page.

Step 3: Go to the Team Tab

In the Project Settings, locate the "Team" tab. This is where you manage team members and define their access levels.

Step 4: Invite Team Members

Click on "Invite Team Members" to add new members. Enter their email addresses, separating multiple emails with commas if needed. Once entered, click "Send Invites" for them to receive an email invitation.

Step 5: Define Roles and Permissions

Once team members accept the invitation, assign them roles based on their responsibilities in the project:
- Editor: Can update website content but not the design. Ideal for content creators.
- Designer: Can edit styles and layouts. Suitable for those handling visual design.
- Developer: Has advanced access for code and assets. Useful for custom functionality.
- Admin: Has complete control over the project. Best for team leads or project managers.

Choose roles from the dropdown next to each team member's name.

Step 6: Manage Permissions on Specific Folders

To control access to specific folders, go to the "Folders" section. Click on a folder to set access permissions according to your team’s needs and content sensitivity.

Step 7: Review and Adjust Permissions Regularly

Regularly review the roles and permissions to ensure members still need their current access levels. Adjust roles as the team or project needs change to maintain security and efficiency.

Step 8: Communication and Training

Communicate the roles and permissions to your team, and conduct training sessions to explain how to use Webflow within these parameters to maximize productivity.

Step 9: Utilize Webflow’s Support and Resources

If you encounter challenges or need clarification, use Webflow’s support resources, including their help center, guides, and FAQs, for assistance.

Conclusion

Properly setting up permissions ensures a secure and organized environment for collaboration on Webflow, enhancing workflow and efficiency for your organization.
