Important: ‘Super Admin’ is the only role that has access to all the features at once. Do not combine the role ‘Super Admin’ with other roles.

The 2 most common roles are:

1. Super admin

  1. This role is the core admin of your system and has all permissions

  2. Try to limit the amount of users that have this role

  3. This role can see ALL backoffice modules

  4. This role can see ALL news publications that were created

2. Content creator

  1. This role can only create content and surveys/polls

  2. This role can only see, edit and post their own content

Content creator permissions are set via the User permissions tab on
https://YOURID-backoffice.spencer.co/backoffice/users/permissions


Users with Admin roles will automatically see the 'Admin' button on the front end web version for quick access to the back office. This is not visible for general users.


Only users with admin or content creator rights will be able to access the back office.


You can log in to the back office with the same credentials as for the application itself.


You can download an export of all content creators via the https://YOURID-backoffice.spencer.co/backoffice/users/permissions
