46 Configuring Contribute and Contribute Publishing Server to work with your website
Creating Contribute roles
You can create roles for users to determine their level of access in a website.
For more information about Contribute default user roles and settings, see “About Contribute
user roles and settings” on page 43.
When Contribute users connect to a website, they are prompted to indicate which role they
belong to (this is not true for CPS-managed sites). 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.
To create a role:
1. Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites
(Macintosh), 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.
Writer Writer Can edit any unlocked text on a page, insert images, and
apply pre-defined styles to text.
Web designer Administrator The designer creates new CSS styles and web page
templates to accommodate changing site designs, inserts
images and Flash content into pages, and adds assets to the
shared asset library for writers to insert into pages.
