Users role on a website
In website builder WebWave one of four roles can be assigned to a signed user.
User
A "User" has the lowest edition access level. User can't change website content, but can see the subpages which require signing in. It would be a perfect solution, if you want to show the progress of your project, but in the meantime don't want your website content to be edited.
Editor
An "Editor" can change content on your website and edit elements. The editor can also add new articles through the newsfeed. This edition level allows to change only text content and add/remove images. The editor can't change the font size or perform any advanced edition. He also can't see the statistics, manage SEO settings and newsfeed categories.
Head editor
A "Head editor" can edit and influence many aspects of your website. In contrast to the editor's privileges, he gets access to more advanced edition like SEO settings edition or more complex text and elements edition. The head editor also has access to the list of subpages, newsfeed and statistics.
Administrator
An "Administrator" gets the same edition access as a webmaster. CMS website builder looks exactly the same as the webmaster's website builder. The administrator can freely add and edit subpages, add, remove and edit elements, change the template, add articles and articles templates, manage mailbox features, SEO settings and more.
This kind of the edition level gives enormous opportunities. By creating an Administrator account for your clients, you do give them access to the website builder. For this reason users of such a level have access to the WebWave knowledge base.

Decide whether the CMS users can make payments
