A Guide to User Permissions on RebelMouse

On our platform, user roles range from base-level contributors all the way up to administrators. These roles are especially important when operating within the confines of our community dashboard , which brings multiple creators together to create and share within one large content hub.

Click here to learn more about our community user permissions and ratings, designed for the new content workflow.

The way each role interacts with others is completely customizable. The workflow is designed to streamline the edit, revision, and publishing process to make sure live content is not only perfect, but always optimized for site, search, and social. The way each team sets up their role structure is typically dependent on the number of writers employed, the amount of content published, and the cadence of posts.

We're in a much better position to make it through the current crisis in part due to RebelMouse and their platform. We've not only saved on overhead costs, we've more easily optimized our traffic with their smart measuring and SEO tools, as well as their social integrations.

THANK YOU for all the good, fast work you put into making our public rollout such a big success. I know we threw a lot at you very quickly, but you were calm under pressure and pulled it all off perfectly. Very glad to be working with you all.

So inspired and impressed by these results from RebelMouse. Check them out and ask Andrea Breanna how they got there! Just goes to show that spending millions doesn't necessarily get you to the right destination. It's spending no more than you need on the right technology with the right platform that does! 🌐💙🏎️

Working with RebelMouse is an actual treat. From the CEO down, every single member of the team has partnered with us to meet our needs. Everyone willingly (and with endless patience!) shares their expertise and insights to ensure we optimize search and create a great audience experience. As we have implemented the various search tactics, positive results are almost instantaneous. Training our content creators has been simple. The system is incredibly user friendly. As a co-worker commented, "RebelMouse doesn't just sell you something, they partner with you to deliver exactly what you want." I couldn't agree more!

RebelMouse's Layout & Design Tool is one of the most comprehensive and flexible tools I have ever used of any CMS. Their product team is also extremely helpful and constantly supports to make sure your properties are up to date and use the best industry standards, especially in terms of page speed.

Chuck Lapointe

CEO
Narcity Media

The best thing about RebelMouse is how much they care about their customers. When working with them, I always get a sense that they go above and beyond for their customers. When working with the RebelMouse team, I very much consider them to be a partner, rather than just a vendor. Upon migrating to their technology, we have seen tremendous improvements in many key areas, particularly technical SEO. They have out-of-the-box functionality that is tremendously helpful to customers. At the same time, their system is flexible enough to allow us to adapt it to any new business needs that we have.

RebelMouse has shepherded us through the modernization phase, and has been keen, practical, and nimble throughout the entire journey. They have helped modernize our website through an infinite scroll setup that allows us more advertising real estate while creating more time on site to capture reader engagement. Plus, the RebelMouse team has helped educate our own team on the various aspects of programmatic advertising and worked to best implement them. Premier Guitar joining forces with RebelMouse in 2020 was one of the best choices we could have made!
