Website Management Roles on Firehouse Solutions

Firehouse Solutions provides a tiered website management system designed to ensure secure and efficient control over your department’s online presence. The platform includes three key administrative roles: Website Administrator, Website Manager, and Content Manager. Each role has specific permissions and responsibilities to help maintain the website’s functionality and content integrity.

Website Administrator

The Website Administrator holds the highest level of access and authority on the website. This role includes full control over all website operations, including user permissions and administrative functions.

To manage Website Administrators:

  • Select the specific module you wish to manage.

  • From there, you can add or remove members for that module.
