About roles
Contribute lets you define a set of user permissions,
ranging from file access to the level of typographic control, as
a role. You assign the roles you create to Contribute users,
which determines the degree to which a specific user can modify
a site’s content.
Contribute has three default roles that you can assign to users
“as-is,” or modify further to meet the content editing needs of
your website. The default Contribute roles are:
- Administrator
- Users with this role are administrators of this website.
- Publisher
- Users with this role can create and edit pages as well as
publish pages to the website.
- Writer
- Users with this role can create and edit pages but cannot
publish pages to the website. To publish new pages or page modifications
to a site, users in this role must send their updates to a user
in the publisher role for review. The publisher can then choose
to publish the page to the site or send it back to the writer for
additional editing.
In most cases you can use the default
settings specified for these roles. However, if your website has
certain design features that need to be preserved, you can configure
Contribute to work with those design considerations.
If you
are not familiar with such web page design elements as font and paragraph
usage, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) styles, and image file formats
and size limitations, consult a web page designer or other web professional
who is knowledgeable about your organization’s website.
