Admin CMS

White-label editing feature
By adding the Admin CMS block to your app, you can provide your users/customers with editing permissions based on the limitations that you set. This will allow them to directly add, modify, or remove content from Data Lists and Information Blocks within the app without the need to open the designer.
Notes:
  • To access the Admin block you will need an Agency plan or higher.
  • This is the first version of the Admin CMS. We are working on fine-tuning and improvements.

How to get Started

Before you start with the Admin CMS

  1. 1.
    Go to App Users - Login Settings to enable User Registration.
    The Admin Feature only works if you have User Login enabled and have Users assigned to the Group(s) you want to give access to the Admin CMS.
    Enable User Registration
  2. 2.
    Go to the Users tab to add groups, If you want multiple levels of access to the Admin CMS, you have to create multiple groups. Important note: You should always add yourself to all groups as well, so you can check the correct settings in the AppMachine Previewer.
  3. 3.
    In this example, we'll create an Admin group. This group of your app users will be able to edit their app with the Admin CMS.
  4. 4.
    Assign Users to the Admin group.
  5. 5.
    Go to the app editor and add the Admin block

Now that you've already added the correct users to the User Group that you want to give access to the Admin CMS, it's time to explore the functions and set up feature.
