Once CXUC is enabled Bynder Admins can assign Creator or Manager rights to users that should be able to create landing pages.

Why?

Bynder uses highly customizable landing page creation to allow the user to have full flexibility in their creations. This works well when creating a landing page from scratch or when using one of Bynder's many scalable and in-depth templates. Templates are pre-structured, customizable, and designed for professional, on-brand content with minimal effort. Whichever way you choose to use landing pages, Bynder has the flexibility to make it work.
