Managing Users
RuntCMS has two user roles: Admin and Editor. You can create as many users as you need.
User roles
| Capability | Admin | Editor |
|---|---|---|
| Edit text regions on the live site | Yes | Yes |
| Replace images on the live site | Yes | Yes |
| View revision history | Yes | Yes |
| Restore a previous revision | Yes | Yes |
| Access the admin panel | Yes | No |
| Create and delete pages | Yes | No |
| Manage other users | Yes | No |
| Change site settings | Yes | No |
| Enable two-factor authentication | Yes | No |
Creating a user
Go to Admin → Users and click New User. Fill in:
- Name — displayed in the revision history ("Saved by Sarah")
- Email address — used to log in; must be unique
- Role — Admin or Editor
- Password — you set the initial password; the user can change it themselves later
Editing a user
Click a user's name in the list. You can change their name, email, and role. To reset their password, enter a new password and save.
Leave the password field blank if you don't want to change it.
Deleting a user
Click Delete next to a user. You'll be asked to confirm. Deleting a user does not delete content they've saved — revisions retain the author name for the historical record.
You cannot delete your own account.
Your profile
Click your name in the admin top bar to go to your profile page. From there you can:
- Change your name or email
- Change your password
- Enable or manage two-factor authentication (admin accounts only)
Editor login experience
When an Editor logs in, they're taken directly to the live site (not the admin panel). The runtbar appears at the bottom of the page. Editors see:
- A Change Password button in the runtbar
- A Log Out button in the runtbar
- The What can I edit? button — pulses all editable regions and images for three seconds so editors can find them quickly
Editors cannot access /cms-admin/ — it redirects them back to the homepage.
