As a first security measure, access to the editor is restricted to administrators by default. It is recommended to remove the `admin` [role](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/users/roles) from users without technical knowledge. Using the `plain.editor.access` option, you can define which user roles are allowed to access the editor. ⚠️ **The developer of this plugin accepts no liability for any damage or data loss.** Installation ------------ [](#installation) **Manually** [Download](https://github.com/plain-solutions-gmbh/kirby-editor) and copy the plugin into your plugin folder: `/site/plugins/` **With Composer** `composer require plain/kirby-editor` Options ------- [](#options) `plain.editor.access` A list of roles that have access to the editor.
