Secure Admin Access

How admin access works Swindon Now's admin area is restricted to authorised editorial staff. Here's how we keep it secure: Access controls - Role-based access — only approved admin accounts can log in. There's no public registration for admin. - Password protection — admin accounts use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication where available. - Audit logging — key actions publishing, editing, deleting are logged for accountability. What admins can do - Review and publish community submissions. - Edit, correct, or remove published articles. - Manage RSS sources and feed configuration. - Handle billing and advertising accounts. What admins can't do - Access is limited to the admin dashboard — there's no backdoor into user devices or personal accounts. - Admins cannot see newsletter subscriber emails in plain text. Reporting a security concern If you believe there's a security issue with Swindon Now, contact us immediately via the Contact /contact page. --- This policy may be updated from time to time.
