Ecosystem sites have defined user roles with distinct levels of permissions.
Marcom has given site owners the ability to manage the users of their site. To follow best practices, Marcom recommends limiting the number of site owners on a given site to no more than three. A limited number of site owners has the benefit of streamlining communication between communicators and Marcom, as well as simplifying management tasks within the school or college unit.
The roles within Ecosystem sites are:
Site owner
Site owners are responsible for managing user permissions within their site and have full access to editing (with the addition of the content editor role). Site owners can also create redirects within their site and are the only role with the ability to edit and publish content to the site’s homepage.
Content editor
Most users regularly working in Ecosystem should be content editors. Content editors can edit the site but cannot manage user permissions.
Department editor
Department editors can edit department taxonomy terms. These terms are used on department homepages. Department editors can also add and edit Person content.
Event editor
An event editor only has permissions to add content using the event content type.
Anonymous users & authenticated users
There are no permissions associated with anonymous users or authenticated users. The distinction is that an anonymous user is visiting the site with no logon credentials required, and an authenticated user has logged in.
Administrator
The Administrator role is restricted to Marcom only.
