Explanation of the Changes:

Over the last few months the Web Platform team has been working on several changes to the permissions that will affect all Web Platform sites. These changes will provide better user experiences and new features. 

 

 

What’s Changing:

  • Site Administrators will no longer be able to modify user access. All new users are required to take two courses to access and edit the website.
     
  • New roles and updated permissions. Below is a summary of all the permissions: 
    • Content Approver – A user who can see published and draft content but cannot edit content. This user type does not need to complete any trainings to gain access. To become a Content Approver, please complete the support request form.
       
    • Editor – A user who can create, edit, and delete their own content.
       
    • Site Manager – A user who can create, edit, and delete any content on an individual site and who has limited access to configuration and other elements.
       
    • Site Administrator – A user who has the same access as a Site Manager plus additional site configuration and permissions. (This access level is not available for most users.
