Add users to websites that CPS manages

The User Directory service of CPS lets you add users from your organization’s LDAP or Active Directory service.

For websites that CPS manages, you must manually add users to a website’s user list before those users can connect—unlike non-managed websites where anyone with a connection key or connection information can connect to the site.

After you add a user to a website, you can send them a connection key or connection information to connect to the website.

1. 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.

2. Select the Users and Roles category from the list on the left.

   The Users and Roles panel of the Administer Website dialog box appears.

3. Click Add Users.

   The Add Users dialog box appears.

   

   
   

4. Select a role for the users you want to add from the Role for the new users pop-up menu.

   The role you assign determines the editing permissions the new users have for modifying the site’s pages.

5. Use Search to find users, and then add them to the role you selected.

6. (Optional) Select Send connection key e-mail to users to send an e-mail to the users you’ve added to the role.

   You can also have users type connect:server domain name (where server domain name is the name of the server where CPS is installed) in the Contribute browser address bar to connect to the website.

   For more information about options in this dialog box, see Setting the Add Users dialog box options.

7. Click OK.

Contribute adds the specified users to the website and sends them e-mail that contains the connection key.
