The SXA security roles
Security roles give your users different access rights to different areas of site collections and sites.
Important
To make the roles appear in the Role Manager app, you must set up security for a site collection and site.
These roles inherit Sitecore roles and are used to base the following site collection and site roles on:
- Site Collection Member
- Site Collection Author
- Site Collection Designer
- Site Collection Admin
- Site Member
- Site Author
- Site Designer
- Site Admin
