### Permissions
It is important to set the right permissions for the components: Comdev and Directory, in order for the users to access the Front Admin. Otherwise Users won't be able to access the Front Admin (Permissions Denied) or get 500 Error when trying to upload the images.
Example below shows access for the Registered Group. Same settings should be applied for each group that should have access to the Front Admin.
