# Permissions

{% hint style="info" %}
Granular permissions require the [Pro edition](/getting-started/editions.md).
{% endhint %}

Advanced SEO adds four permissions under the **Advanced SEO** group:

| Permission          | Description                                                                                                |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `configure seo`     | Full access to all SEO settings, defaults, configuration, redirects, and the SEO tab on entries and terms. |
| `edit seo defaults` | Edit collection and taxonomy defaults, and access the SEO tab on entries and terms.                        |
| `edit seo content`  | Access the SEO tab on entries and terms.                                                                   |
| `manage redirects`  | View and manage redirects and redirect errors for sites the user can access.                               |

Super users always have full access regardless of permissions.

## How Permissions Work

### Site Defaults

Only users with the `configure seo` permission can edit site defaults.

### Collection & Taxonomy Defaults

Users need the `configure seo` or `edit seo defaults` permission **and** Statamic's native permission for the corresponding content type. For example, to edit SEO defaults for the Pages collection, a user needs `edit seo defaults` plus either Statamic's `configure collections` or `edit pages entries` permission. Accessing the configuration requires `configure seo` and the native `configure collections` or `configure taxonomies` permission.

### SEO Tab on Entries & Terms

The `configure seo`, `edit seo defaults`, and `edit seo content` permissions grant access to the SEO tab. Additionally, the collection or taxonomy must have its [Editable](/usage/settings-and-defaults.md#configuration) toggle enabled.

### Redirects

Users need the `configure seo` or `manage redirects` permission to access redirects and redirect errors. They must also have access to the relevant Statamic site. In multi-site setups, listings, imports, exports, and bulk actions are limited to the sites each user can access.
