Manage user access for AI-powered features
After AI-powered features for the Parse.ly Content Helper (PCH) have been activated for a site, each feature can be selectively enabled or disabled, and access to each feature can be limited to a selected set of user roles.
Access
Prerequisite
Only users with an Administrator role or a Super Admin role can access the Parse.ly Settings panel.
- Log in to the WordPress Admin dashboard.
- Select Parse.ly from the sidebar menu.
- Select the subnavigation menu item labeled “Settings“.
- Select the tab labeled “Content Helper” to access the settings page for enablement and user permission settings for AI features in Parse.ly.
Enable or disable AI-powered features
All AI-powered features that a site has access to can be enabled or disabled as a group by selecting or deselecting a single option in the Settings panel.
In the content of the tab labeled “Content Helper”:
- Locate the feature option labeled “AI Features“.
- Deselect the checkbox to the right of the feature labeled “Enabled“.
- Select the button labeled “Save Changes“.
Enable or disable a feature
An Administrator can selectively enable or disable each of the AI-powered features that a site has access to. A checkbox for each AI-powered feature in the Settings panel can be selected or deselected to manage feature enablement.
In the content of the tab labeled “Content Helper”:
- Locate the name of the feature to configure (e.g., Smart Linking, Title Suggestions, Excerpt Suggestions, Traffic Boost).
- To the right of the feature’s name, select the checkbox labeled “Enabled” to enable the feature, or deselect the checkbox to disable.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any other AI-powered feature(s) that requires an update to its enablement status.
- Select the button labeled “Save Changes“.
Grant access to a feature by user role
By default, only users who have an Administrator role will initially have access to each AI-powered feature. Administrators can grant permission for other user roles to have access to each feature. Access for all user roles that exist on a site that have permission to edit_posts
—including custom user roles—can be managed within the Parse.ly Settings panel.
- Locate the name of the feature to configure (e.g., Smart Linking, Title Suggestions, Excerpt Suggestions, Traffic Boost).
- To the right of the feature’s name, under the checkbox labeled “Enabled“, eligible user roles are listed, each with a checkbox to their left. To grant permission for a user role to access the feature, select the checkbox to its left. Deselect the checkbox to remove access for a user role.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 to manage access by user role for any other feature(s).
- Select the button labeled “Save Changes“.
