Each backend administrator can be assigned a subset of permissions to limit their access to only the areas they need. Permissions are set per-user from Settings > Curator > Backend Administrators. Some permissions are only visible when certain features or integrations are enabled on your Curator instance. So in case you don’t see the corresponding menu item on the left-hand navigation, it is because you don’t have that feature currently enabled.
