Authors and Layout

Training

We have a variety of author "privileges" on the site. Review existing author privileges.

A general way of understanding this is that any user on the site is a Writer, Editor, Publisher, or Agency Manager (maximum 2 per agency).

There is a separate role of  Taxonomy Manager for any user with the privilege of adding new taxonomy terms.

There are no Administrators on any site in the DX Platform.

 

Roles: Summary

We have more in-depth details on existing author privileges.

Our general approach to the site is that a Writer creates content for review.

An Editor reviews and edits content.

A Publisher  writes, reviews, edits, and publishes content.

An Agency Manager may do all editing and publishing.
