The permission are set at People > PermissionsAll non-anonymous users are authenticated users and as such get the permissions of the authenticated user role automatically.

Trying to access an admin page (/admin) as users with different roles/admin and its subdirectories can only be accessed by users with a role that has the "Use the administration pages and help" permission.

Anonymous (= not logged-in) user:

Authenticated user without the roles"administrator" and "manager":

Authenticated user with the role(s) "administrator" and/or "manager":

If adding a new role down the road, remember to give it permissions!Only the permissions of the authenticated user role will be applied automatically.

Also remember to check the permissions whenever you create a new content type or install a new module
