There are multiple types of "authors" on the DX Platform. Your access to the site is managed through OKTA authentication.
Our general approach to the site
The system considers all users with a login to the site to be authors.
All authors are explicitly assigned by their agency.
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, publishing, site settings, and taxonomy structure.
Any changes an "Editor" makes to existing pages need to be published by a "Publisher / Agency Manager."
All users can move items to the trash. However, only Agency Managers can PERMANENTLY "purge" files from the trash. This means those files will no longer be accessible.
Here is an accordion list of information about the different author types.
All authors usually have a "Writer," "Editor," or "Publisher" role. This role lets them submit content to their agency website.
Fewer publishers are in each user pool. Publishers must communicate with writers and editors to decide which items are ready for publication.
All users who can log into the site are called "website authors."
They can create and edit content. They can also upload media, like images, documents (PDFs), and remote videos, such as YouTube links.
Writers are the most common author on the site:
Writers have the ability to create and edit their own content
Writers can save content in "Draft" format. Only the publisher role and above can publish content.
Writers create all content in "Draft" format. Then, Publishers or Agency Managers change it to ready for publication.
Editors are able to do the same as Writers, but Editors can additionally:
Create and edit any content on the site. Only the publisher role and higher can publish content.
Publishers can handle all the tasks of a writer and editor. They can also:
Publish and unpublish content.
Archiving meeting minutes after 4 years
Moving a review item to Published status
Moving a Draft press release to Published press release
Agency Managers have access to all functions. There are at most three agency managers assigned per agency. They also have elevated privileges such as:
Setting homepage behavior with respect to search box
Creating GTM codes
Assign and change authors for various content types in the content library.
Creating Taxonomy
Permanently delete files from the site
Creating Alerts or Scheduling Alerts to be published or unpublished
Who can edit a Landing Page layout
The Layout section for "Landing Pages" is unique. These pages appear in key areas like Homepages. Only the Publisher and Agency Manager can edit them.
How to fix a missing Edit button
If an author or user is removed from the site, change their name on all their pages. This way, another team member can edit or delete the content they created. If you donβt do this, you will see an error message when you try to delete it from the content library.
