Create 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.
Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute
> Administer Websites (Mac OS), 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.
Select Users and Roles.
By default, Contribute creates
three roles: Administrator, Publisher, and Writer.
Click
Create New Role.
The Create New Role dialog box appears.
Select an existing role from the Create new role from copy
of list box.
Selecting an existing role as a base for a new
role lets you reuse the selected role’s settings. You can modify
the new role’s settings as needed.
Enter a name for the role you want to create, and then click
OK.
The new role appears in the list of role names in the
User and Roles panel of the Administer Website dialog box.
Select the role name, and then click Edit Role Settings.
The
Edit Role Settings dialog box appears. The Edit Role dialog box
lets you modify the user settings associated with each role.
Modify the settings for the role.
When you are finished
defining the role, click OK to save your changes. The Edit Role
Settings dialog box closes, returning you to the Administer Website dialog
box.
To create additional roles, repeat steps 4 through 7 for
each role you want to add.
Select another administrative category to modify, or click
Close to apply your changes and exit the Administer Website dialog
box.
Note: You can modify a role’s settings at
any time, even after you have distributed a connection key. Connection
information and website permissions are maintained separately.
To modify the roles you have created, select the role whose
settings you want to modify and click Edit Role Settings. The Edit
Role Settings dialog box appears. To learn more about the settings
you can modify, see Edit a role’s settings.
To send the connection to the users that make up the role,
click Send Connection Key. The Export Connection Wizard appears.
To learn how to export a connection key, see Send connection keys for websites.
To edit the role now,
skip to step 4 of the following procedure. Otherwise, click Cancel
to close the Edit Role Settings dialog box, and then click Close to
close the Administer Website dialog box.
