Webflow Boosts Enterprise Security and Team Management

Webflow has released two major features for Enterprise customers, making team management and security monitoring more robust.

What's New:

  • Custom Roles - Available now for Enterprise users and Partners

  • Create specific permission sets for team members

  • Control who can publish to production

  • Manage design system access rights

  • Set up roles that match your team structure

  • Audit Log API (Coming Soon - Beta)

  • Track important user events

  • Monitor login activity

  • Follow permission changes

  • Watch workspace membership updates

  • Works with existing SIEM tools

Why It Matters: For large teams and agencies, these updates solve two common problems. The custom roles feature helps prevent accidental changes by giving each team member exactly the access they need. The audit log API helps security teams track user activity and meet compliance requirements by connecting with their existing tools.

Pro Tip: Start planning your role structure now. List out your team's responsibilities and create roles that match your workflows. This will make the transition smoother when you implement custom roles.

What are no-code stacks?

What is a No-Code Stack? A no-code stack combines different platforms and services that work together to create applications without extensive coding. Think of it as building blocks that connect to form a complete system.

Why No-Code Stacks Matter

  • They enable rapid application building by connecting pre-built services

  • Provide access to specialized tools that continuously improve

  • Reduce maintenance workload since third-party services handle updates

  • Allow flexibility through various integrations and plugins

    • Popular tools: Airtable, Google Sheets

    • Best for: Customer information, product details, content management

  2. Back-end Layer

    • Purpose: Handles data processing, searching, and filtering

    • Notable platform: Xano

    • Key benefit: Manages the logic behind your application

  3. Front-end Layer

    • Purpose: Creates the user interface

    • Tools: Webflow, Bubble, Glide
