 Description   

When creating a new user and assigning the role of "editor" and/or "publisher", the default Web access role is empty, preventing this new user to log in to Admin Central. Customers are not aware of this missing setup, so it would be useful to provide the documentation explaining how to enable log in. 

The steps are simply:

  1. Open the Security app.
  2. Click the Roles tab. 
  3. Open the editor dialog (double click or Edit Role) for editor and/or publisher.
  4. In the dialog, open the Web access tab.
  5. Click Add new
  6. Ensure "Web access" is created with "Get & Post" set to the "/*"
  7. Test by logging out and logging in as the new user.
