Feature Request – Add Role-Based User Permissions for Team Management

Feature Request – Add Role-Based User Permissions for Team Management

Description

I'd like to suggest a highly valuable feature for Directify that would enable directory owners to add multiple users/employees to their account, with customizable permission levels tied to specific directories.

Why This Is Needed

Currently, only the main account holder has access to all directories under a single Directify account. This presents serious limitations and risks:

• It’s not scalable for teams or businesses managing multiple directories.
• It’s risky to share full login credentials with contractors or employees just to delegate basic tasks.
• There is no way to restrict access to certain sections (e.g., listings, blog posts, tags) or specific directories.

Proposed Solution

Allow the account owner to:

1. Invite users (employees, contractors, collaborators) to the Directify account.

2. Assign roles per directory, such as:

   • Admin – full access to a specific directory.
   • Editor – limited to managing listings, categories, blog posts, and/or tags.
   • Read-only – can view data but not make changes.

3. Customize access levels per user:

   • Grant or restrict access to:
     • Listings
     • Categories
     • Blogs
     • Tags
     • Payments
     • Settings
   • Per directory basis (e.g., access to only Directory A, not B or C).

Benefits

• Safer, role-based collaboration.
• Makes it easier to scale directory businesses by delegating work.
• Prevents accidental changes or breaches by limiting permissions.
• More professional management for agencies or growing teams.

Please let me know if this is already in the roadmap or if there’s a workaround in the meantime. This would be a game-changing feature for agencies or solopreneurs looking to grow their directory businesses with help from a team.
