Adding Authors

Each publication project in Typemill can have its own author or team of authors. This allows you to delegate responsibility, manage permissions, and let contributors focus on their specific projects — without affecting others.

Create New User Accounts

To add authors, go to the System section in the top navigation and open the Users menu on the left side. Here you can view all existing users and create new ones.

Click “Add New User” and select a role for the author first. In most cases, it makes sense to assign the role “editor” to an author, so they have full editing rights to the content but no access to the system settings or other projects.

After selecting the role, fill out the form with all required details such as username, first name, last name, email, password, profile image, description, and more.

Restrict Access to Projects

Finally, you should restrict access to specific projects. To do this, enter the project id — for example, fundraising. If the author works on multiple projects, you can add all project IDs here as a comma-separated list. If the project has multiple authors, simply create additional users in the same way.

With this setup, each author only has access to their assigned projects in the editor. All other projects and pages remain hidden and inaccessible.
