Click the Help button in the dialog or see Using and Administering Contribute for information about options in this dialog box: About Contribute user roles and settings Contribute lets you control access to your website by creating roles. Roles are collections of settings that you create, each of which may be assigned privileges by the administrator of the site. The roles you create reflect different levels of access to page creation, editing and deletion of content, page design, and approval. You can define any number of Contribute roles and specify various options for each role you create. Contribute roles are not based on system or network user groups. You can create the same role for members of various workgroups and send them a connection. As long as the recipients have appropriate access to the network and server, they can edit the website. Contribute default roles Contribute has three default roles: Administrator, Publisher, and Writer Administrator identifies the administrator of the site, who can create roles and modify existing ones, add users to the site, and send connections to new users so that they can access the site. A site can have more than one person assigned to the administrative role. Publisher identifies users who can create and edit pages as well as publish pages to the website. Writer identifies users who can create and edit pages, but cannot publish pages to the website. A user in the Writer role must send their pages for review to a user in a Publisher or Administrator role who can publish the page to the site or send it back to the Writer for additional editing. Depending on your website publishing needs, and the number of people adding content to your site, you might only need to use the Administrator and Publisher roles. If you deploy Contribute in an organization where website content must be approved before it's published, you should use the Administrator, Publisher, and Writer roles.

User Guide

Select the administrative settings category you want to modify from the list on the left side of the dialog box.

Click the Help button in the dialog or see

for information about options in this

About Contribute user roles and settings

Contribute lets you control access to your website by creating

roles

. Roles are collections of settings that you create,

each of which may be assigned privileges by the administrator of the site. The roles you create reflect different levels

of access to page creation, editing and deletion of content, page design, and approval.

You can define any number of Contribute roles and specify various options for each role you create. Contribute

roles are not based on system or network user groups. You can create the same role for members of various

workgroups and send them a connection. As long as the recipients have appropriate access to the network and

server, they can edit the website.

Contribute default roles

Contribute has three default roles: Administrator, Publisher, and Writer

Administrator

identifies the administrator of the site, who can create roles and modify existing ones, add users to

the site, and send connections to new users so that they can access the site. A site can have more than one person

assigned to the administrative role.

Publisher

identifies users who can create and edit pages as well as publish pages to the website.

Writer

identifies users who can create and edit pages, but cannot publish pages to the website. A user in the Writer

role must send their pages for review to a user in a Publisher or Administrator role who can publish the page to the

site or send it back to the Writer for additional editing.

Depending on your website publishing needs, and the number of people adding content to your site, you might only

need to use the Administrator and Publisher roles. If you deploy Contribute in an organization where website

content must be approved before it’s published, you should use the Administrator, Publisher, and Writer roles.
