# Content Capabilities

Starting from version 4.0, most content access is controlled using **Capabilities**, providing **flexible content management** and **simplified setup**.

{% endhint %}

To assign permissions:

1. Navigate to your frontend **Dashboard > Settings > Capabilities**.
2. Select the **content type** you want to manage.
3. Choose a specific **user role** to grant permissions to, or "All" to retrieve all roles.
4. Check the necessary **capability** checkboxes.

DO NOT grant all permissions to regular members unless you fully understand them.
