About the Different Levels of Authors

There are multiple types of "authors" on the DX Platform. Your access to the site is moderated through your OKTA authentication.

How Different Author Roles Work:

Here is an accordion list of information about how the different author types

All authors will typically hold a "Writer," "Editor," or "Publisher" role to be able to submit content to their agency website.

Note that there are fewer publishers in any pool of users, and use of the platform requires publishers to be in communication with writers and editors to determine which items are ready for publication.

 

Special Note to keep in mind

If an author/user has been decommissioned from the site then all of the pages that they made will need to have the authors changed to another team member so that you can make edits to or delete the content that they created. If this is not done you will run into an error message when you try to delete it from the content library

proper way to change content authors to delete pages
  • All users with a login to the site are considered to be authors.
  • All authors are explicitly assigned through their agency.
  • There are no public users on any sites on the platform.
  • Any edits to existing pages made by an "Editor" require publishing by a "Publisher / Agency Manager's"
  • All users can move items to the trash but only Agency Managers can PERMANENTLY "purge" (aka delete) files from the site within the trash so it is no longer accessible.
