New custom roles permissions

Gain more control over Designer and Marketer permissions on Webflow Enterprise.

New custom roles permissions

<p id="">We have two exciting new updates to custom roles: styling permissions and Marketer controls!</p><p id="">Previously, with Webflow’s <a href="<https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/37207901526419-Create-and-manage-custom-roles#:~:text=Custom%20roles%20are%20available%20for,a%20team%20member's%20specific%20responsibilities>." id="">custom roles</a>, class and variable editing permissions were bundled together—meaning anyone who could edit classes could also modify variables. This made it difficult for admins to enforce structured design systems and prevent unintended changes. With today’s update, class editing and variable editing permissions are now separate, giving admins more precise control over who can adjust styling elements.</p><p id="">This week, we released the ability for <a href="<https://webflow.com/updates/marketers-build-pages-without-template>">Marketers to build pages without a template</a>. Today, Enterprise admins will be able to configure a new custom role permission to control whether Marketers must use an approved template to build new pages.&nbsp;</p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:1280px" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="fullwidth" data-rt-max-width="1280px"><div id=""><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/67e1daa779a32a365be963ecSlashUpdates1280x720.jpg>" loading="lazy" alt="__wf_reserved_inherit" width="auto" height="auto" id=""></div><figcaption id="">New permissions for designers and marketers.</figcaption></figure><p id="">By refining permissions at this level, Webflow Enterprise customers and their Partners can now manage styling access with greater confidence, ensuring both flexibility and security in their workflows.</p><p id="">For more details on how to start using custom roles today, check out our <a href="<https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/37207901526419-Create-and-manage-custom-roles#01JHRWKB8RVE7YNWJHK9ZMK5YM>" id="">Help Center documentation</a> or <a href="<https://webflow.com/enterprise#contact>" id="">get in touch with our sales team</a>.</p>
