User Rights & Roles

CMS User Levels

Site Manager has a configurable and secure user rights and roles model, which allows users to update and manage content for the particular parts of the site or parts of a page they have been assigned to look after. 

There are four basic levels of users (more tiers may be configured):

• Contributors are allowed to add, modify and delete content to those particular areas of the site(s) to which they have been assigned. However, everything authored by a contributor will need to be approved before it is released to the website. In practice therefore, contributors simply prepare material for approval.
• Moderators are the next tier and have all the rights of a contributor.  In addition they can sign-off or approve content on selected areas of the sites, based on the system's workflows.
• Power Users have a limited set of Administrator functionality, allowing them to completely control both the content and technical aspects of a specific channel, without having access to other channels.  Power User is an ideal user level for large scale organisations, where multiple projects are being managed by different teams.
• Administrators have all the rights of a moderator and more.  They have complete access to all functionality of the system, with abilities to set up new sites, new users, new styles, check the audit logs etc.  An administrator has dominion over all channels and users being managed by Site Manager.

A key factor in the user acceptance of Site Manager is that users have the reassurance that their publishing rights are managed so that they cannot operate beyond their capability/authorisation. Site Manager allows for full integration with directory services/LDAP/Active Directory as it allows users to login using their normal computer password, or to use single sign-on functionality where available.
