Site Administration Pages
Evolve Dynamic offers a number of built-in pages for administering your site via the web front-end.
You can create new menu items which directly link to these pages, and using Roles you can restrict access to them to prevent them being seen by normal users.
Administration pages are only available on Evolve Dynamic. |
