ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3 212 User Guide Editing lets you specify what content users can modify and determine how Contribute processes paragraphs, line spacing, and accessibility options. For more information, see "Setting page-editing and paragraph settings" on page 220. You can also allow users to insert HTML code snippets in Contribute pages. For more information, see "Setting the option for inserting HTML Code Snippets" on page 221. Styles and Fonts specifies which font sets users have access to, and which users can apply style and formatting to text. For more information, see "Setting style and font settings" on page 221. New Pages specifies whether Contribute users can create blank pages, and which (if any) Adobe's Dreamweaver MX templates they can use to create pages. You can also specify which pages, if any, the user can copy. The options in this category determine what options users see in the New Page dialog box. For more information, see "Settings for new web pages" on page 223. New Images lets you specify a maximum file size, width, and height for images. You can also restrict users so that they can use images only from a shared asset library that you create, or you can allow them to add any image to a web page. For more information, see "Setting options for new images" on page 224. File Placement lets you specify folder locations for files based on the file extension used to identify the file type. You can also specify that Contribute not allow files of a certain size to be uploaded to the web server. For more information, see "Setting options for file placement" on page 225. Shared Assets lets you create a library of assets (such as images, Flash content, or Dreamweaver library items) that users can add to web pages. You can restrict access to shared assets to specific users or let any Contribute user accessing the website add the assets to their pages. For more information, see "Setting options for shared assets" on page 226. Creating Contribute roles When Contribute users connect to a website, they are prompted to indicate which role they belong to. For example, a Contribute user might choose or be assigned to the Writer role. Thereafter, while connected to that website, that user has whatever permissions you have configured for the Writer role. To create a role: 1 Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Macintosh), and then select the website you want to administer from the submenu. If the website has no administrator, click Yes when a dialog box asks whether you want to become the website administrator. Then enter and confirm an administrator password for the website, and click OK. The Administer Website dialog box appears. 2 Select Users and Roles.
