2. Select the green Add User button, enter in the user's email address and then choose a role for them. (Note, that each role has a specific purpose, and some roles restrict access to certain features on the website.)
Optional: Check the box labeled Developer to grant this user access to the Developer Tools dashboard.

Descriptions of user roles

There are four different roles to assign when adding new users to a site:

Role Description
Owner Full access to the Dashboard tools and the ability to Publish. This user typically pays for the website's subscription and is the person who can add the first new user/assign roles. Only the Owner may update payment information on the subscription, so they are the only person that receives transaction receipts by default. You can change Ownership of your website by following this article or by emailing support@gospacecraft.com.
Admin Full access to the Dashboard tools and the ability to Publish. This user can add new users and assign roles.
Content Only Can access and make changes to Content only, but not Publish.
Design Only Can access and make changes to Design only, but not Publish.
Contributor - Content & Design Can access and make changes to both Content and Design, but not Publish.
