Can Webflow support a site with multiple user levels and types (such as Performer, Agent, and Venue) that require different access and forms? What would you recommend for user admin functionalities?

Webflow does not natively support multi-level user roles or gated content by user types like Performer, Agent, or Venue. However, you can achieve this functionality using third-party integrations and certain Webflow features.

1. Native Webflow Limitations

• Webflow does not include built-in user authentication or role-based access.
• Memberships (beta) in Webflow allows for basic user access control, but it's still limited in customizing user roles or permissions.
• Webflow’s CMS can manage content types (e.g., Performer profiles, Venue listings), but it can’t restrict editing/viewing based on user levels.

2. Use Third-Party Tools for User Management

To implement multiple user levels with gated access and differentiated forms, you’ll need to use external tools such as:

• Memberstack: Allows custom user roles, gated content, and unique dashboards per user type. Fully integrates with Webflow.
• Outseta: Includes memberships, CRM, customer support, and authentication features. Good for all-in-one solutions.
• Firebase: More customizable, but code-heavy. Use with Webflow via APIs or embedded content.
• Xano + Wized: Backend (Xano) with front-end logic (Wized) for full web apps. Ideal for complex dynamic permissions and dashboards.

3. Gating Content Based on User Role

• Use Memberstack or Outseta to assign a role (e.g., Performer, Agent, Venue) to each user during signup.
• In Webflow, set visibility rules on sections or pages so only the right users can access specific content.
• You can also redirect users after login to role-specific dashboards.

4. Form Customization per User Type

• Create multiple versions of forms (e.g., Performer form, Venue form).
• Use conditional visibility based on user role, controlled by your third-party tool (e.g., show only Performer form to Performer role).
• Store submissions using Webflow Forms (with email/Zapier or Make integration), or use tools like Airtable or Xano for advanced storage.

5. Admin Capabilities

• Webflow does not offer admin dashboards. For user/admin controls:
• Use Memberstack or Outseta dashboards to manage users and roles.
• Or build a custom admin UI using Wized/Xano or Airtable/Make based on your needs.

Summary

Webflow alone can't fully support multiple user roles or gated dashboards. To implement a site with Performers, Agents, and Venues with different access levels and forms, use tools like Memberstack or Outseta to handle authentication, role assignment, and gated content. For admin features, combine these with external CRMs, backend databases, or automation tools.
