Access rights

This topic is intended for administrators and developers with administration access rights in Episerver.

Episerver Search & Navigation's access rights feature lets site administrators control which users can access components of the Episerver platform.

To access Episerver Search & Navigation features, a user must be a member of one of these groups:

  • Administrators, WebAdmins, and SearchAdmins can access the Episerver edit view, Episerver Search & Navigation search features, and access to the Clear Indexes screen.
  • SearchEditors can access the Episerver edit view and the Episerver Search & Navigation search features. They cannot access the Clear Indexes screen.

Because most users are not members of Administrators or WebAdmins, they must have membership in both SearchAdmins and SearchEditors to access Episerver Search & Navigation features in admin viewWhere administrators manage access rights, website languages, scheduled jobs, export and import of data between websites, and configure new websites in a multi-site solution. (See edit view for comparison.).

The membership and role providers available for your website need to be configured to use the built-in groups and roles in Episerver. This is typically done during site setup.

See Managing permissions for information about managing access rights for other parts of the Episerver platform.
