- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

Configuration

Roles & Permissions
Canvas has 3 pre-defined roles:
- Contributor (Somebody who can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them)
- Editor (Somebody who can publish and manage posts including the posts of other users)
- Admin (Somebody who can do everything and see everything)
When you install a fresh version of Canvas, you'll have a default admin user set up automatically. From there, you can perform any basic CRUD actions on users, as well as assign their various roles.
