You can control who accesses specific areas of your site by managing member roles from your site's dashboard. This allows you to edit role details, assign and remove roles from members, and create or delete roles as needed.

Before you begin:

1. Add Wix Members Area to your site or code using Wix Velo.

2. Create member roles.

3. Create members-only pages or restrict existing pages on your site.

Managing your member access

Customize your member access to ensure that your site remains organized and secure. For example, if you run an online course, you can give students access to course materials while restricting administrative sections to staff only.

To manage your site members' access:

1. Go to Site Member Access in your site's dashboard.

2. Choose what you want to do next:

Create a new role

Click + New Role to create a new role.

Edit a role's information

You can update the name and description of your roles.

Delete a role

Deleting roles in your members area removes access from the members who held that role. Members lose permissions to any pages associated with that role. For example, if you delete an "Author" role, anyone who had it will lose their ability to write blog posts. If you want to keep a page restricted, you'll need to change the permissions of your member roles.

1. Click the More Actions icon next to the relevant role.

2. Click Delete role.

3. Click Delete role to confirm.

Set permission to a member page

Click Set Permissions to set which member roles can access your member pages.
