Hör users

For the Hör web platform, we’ve created functionality that supports 4 main types of users:

Administrator

An administrator has full access to managing pages, products, categories, users, site, and shop settings.

Moderator

A moderator can’t change settings and doesn’t have access to important parts of the site. This user type is made for working with content and comments.

Free registered users

Free registered users have access to account pages & platform’s basic functionality.

Premium users

Premium users have no access to the admin panel but have a personal zone, membership info, favorites, id search, and more features.

Features

DJ Library

We’ve designed a default library page that can be customized manually by an administrator. Meanwhile, users can create their personal libraries which are generated based on the selected tags or categories.
