The SXA security roles

Security roles give your users different access rights to different areas of site collections and sites.

Important

To make the SXA roles appear in the Role Manager app, you must set up security for a site collection and site. Then SXA automatically adds the SXA Admin, SXA Author, and SXA Designer roles into the SXA domain.

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

The following table describes the general SXA roles and their rights for working with site collections:
