One Login Per Person, Not One Per Dealership
Most dealerships start out with a single admin password that everybody uses. It works right up until it doesn't: nobody can say who changed the home page, the newest hire has exactly the same reach as the general manager, and when somebody leaves, the password walks out with them.
✓Access here is worked out per person and per website, area by area — not handed over as one blunt on-or-off switch.
How Access Is Decided
On a person's account
Everybody Gets Their Own
Each member of staff signs in as themselves rather than as the dealership. That one change fixes most of the problem on its own: the work done in your admin belongs to a person, and the login belongs to them rather than to a note stuck under a keyboard.
Area by area
Only The Parts They Need
Permissions are set per area of the admin rather than as a single rank. The person who writes your content can be given the pages and left out of everything else; whoever handles enquiries can be given the leads and nothing more. You are deciding what somebody can reach, not choosing a rung on a ladder.
Across a dealer group
Right Person, Right Rooftop
If your group runs several rooftops, access is resolved per person and per website rather than once across the whole group. The manager at one store signs in and gets that store. Somebody who genuinely works across all of them gets all of them. Same login, different door.
When somebody leaves
Access Ends With The Job
Because access is attached to a person instead of a shared password, withdrawing it means closing one account. Nobody else has to be told a new password, and nobody carries on reaching your website from a job they left last spring.
What The Permissions Actually Gate
Permissions are only interesting because of what sits behind them. Your admin is where the pages of your website are written, where the components on those pages are placed, and where the enquiries your site generates arrive. Deciding who reaches which of those is really deciding how your team divides the work — the software just stops the division being theoretical.

What It Requires
What we need from you
A decision about who should reach what. We set the accounts up with you rather than leaving you to guess your way through it, but the call about which of your people can change your home page is yours to make, not ours.
On our side
Accounts are set up alongside you when your site goes live, and adjusted whenever your team changes. A change to somebody's access takes effect the next time they sign in — there is nothing to rebuild and nothing to redeploy.
Still sharing one password for your own website? There is a better way, and it starts with a phone call.
