Team and roles

Invite editors and collaborate on your blog with the right permissions.

Blogs are better with help. Blog CMS supports team collaboration, so you can invite editors and work on your blog together instead of sharing one login.

Inviting editors

From your blog's settings, you can invite editors by email. Each person gets their own access, so everyone works under their own account — cleaner and safer than passing around a single set of credentials.

Working together

With a team in place, multiple people can contribute:

  • Writers can draft posts in The editor, in either WYSIWYG or Markdown mode.
  • Editors can review and refine before anything goes live.
  • The right people can deploy when a post is ready.

This makes Blog CMS a good fit for founders working with a freelance writer, or a team that splits writing, editing, and publishing across people.

Roles and permissions

Roles control who can do what — most importantly, who can publish versus who can only draft. That separation lets you bring in contributors to write without handing over the ability to push content live. When a draft is ready, someone with publishing rights can deploy it (see Deploying your blog).

A simple workflow

  1. Invite your writers and editors.
  2. Writers draft posts and add images, tables, and SEO details.
  3. An editor or owner reviews the draft.
  4. Someone with publishing rights deploys.

Because writing is free under the pay-to-publish model, your team can draft as much as they like; only deploying depends on an active plan — see Plans and billing.

Keeping things tidy

  • Give each contributor their own invite rather than sharing a login.
  • Use draft-only access for guest or freelance writers.
  • Reserve publishing rights for the people responsible for what goes live.

Collaboration across blogs

If you run more than one blog, manage the team for each blog separately so the right people have access to the right content.
