# 2026-02-11: CE - Site Permissions

## Overview

With **site-aware permissions**, enterprises can define and enforce access rights per site (store, market, brand, or business unit) instead of only globally. This keeps responsibilities clearly separated across multiple sites, improves security and compliance, and reduces configuration effort by reusing existing user groups. Business users only see and manage the sites they are responsible for, which simplifies daily operations and lowers the risk of errors.

| Feature                                                           | Benefit                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

| **Per-site access control**                                       | Ensures that teams only access and manage the sites they are responsible for (for example, DE, FR, US), reducing the risk of unauthorized or accidental changes across regions, brands, or business units. |
| **Reuse of central user groups**                                  | Avoids creating and maintaining separate role models per site. Customers can extend their existing permission setup with a site dimension, lowering configuration and maintenance effort.                  |
| **Improved security and compliance through site-specific access** | Limits access to sensitive data and operations to the relevant site(s) only, helping enterprises meet organizational, legal, and contractual requirements for data separation and governance.              |
| **Support for multi-tenant / multi-unit B2B scenarios**           | Enables clear separation between different B2B customers, tenants, or internal business units on a shared platform, allowing delegated administration without cross-impact.                                |
