Role overview

SkyCMS content roles work together like this:

  • Editors create, revise, schedule, publish, unpublish, and retire content.
  • Site builders define how content is laid out and presented.
  • Developers extend platform behavior, integrations, and infrastructure.

In this section, an editor is the person responsible for day-to-day content operations.

Editors typically:

  • Create and update articles and pages.
  • Keep content in draft until it is ready.
  • Publish immediately or schedule publication.
  • Unpublish or delete outdated content.
  • Validate the live result after changes.

For role boundaries and permission details across all roles, see Roles and permissions (RBAC).
