SveltyCMS serves diverse roles across engineering, operations, and marketing teams. Select your role below for a tailored onboarding journey.


✍️ Path 1: For Content Creators & Editors

As an editor, your focus is authoring, reviewing, and publishing structured content quickly and reliably.

Creator Workflows {#creator-workflows}

  1. Navigating the Content Tree: Access collections from the left sidebar.
  2. Authoring Rich Content: Use the TipTap-powered RichText widget with Markdown shortcuts and image embedding.
  3. Drafts & Versions: Create drafts, preview revisions, and schedule release dates.
  4. Localization (i18n): Author multi-language versions side-by-side (translated: true fields). Admin chrome uses Paraglide (EN/DE by default) — see System Languages.

🛡️ Path 2: For Administrators & Security Teams

As an administrator, your focus is user governance, tenant boundaries, and auditability.

Admin Workflows {#admin-workflows}

  1. Access Management: Create roles, assign granular permissions, and enforce 2FA.
  2. SCIM 2.0 & SSO Provisioning: Configure enterprise IdP provisioning (Okta, Azure AD, SAML).
  3. System Audit Logs: Inspect tamper-evident crypto-chained audit ledgers.
  4. Rate Limiting & Threat Mitigation: Configure IP rate limiting and adaptive security guards.

💻 Path 3: For Full-Stack Engineers & Developers

As a developer, your focus is data modeling, custom widgets, API consumption, and headless frontend integration.

Developer Workflows {#developer-workflows}

  1. Schema: Define collections in the Collection Builder or as TypeScript under config/collections/.
  2. LocalCMS: From SvelteKit server files, call locals.cms instead of HTTP.
  3. HTTP: From a separate frontend, call REST or GraphQL.
  4. Widgets: A custom field is a widget (definition, input, display), written with Svelte 5 runes.
