Most people spend more time trying to avoid problems than in trying to solve them.

Purpose

This module was developed to enable 'multiple' administrators to contribute content to a portal or individual sites within a portal. This module allows individual content managers to be assigned to specific areas of the site, including limitation of specific content types. These administrators (able to access the portal from anywhere in the world) can either post freely to the site, or may be subject to editorial review. Editorial review entails the email notification of content posted to their assigned editor, where it is review, and approved for 'release' to the site. Each module within Centralpoint offers a 'Posting Status' value, which allows for either 'Release or Hold' status to be placed on a document. This is because of the need for multiple administrators and the editorial review which controls these values


Description

This module empowers 'multiple' individuals (one or many) to contribute content to a portal or individual sites within a portal. This module allows individual content managers to be assigned to specific areas of the site, including limitation of specific content types. These administrators (able to access the portal from anywhere in the world) can either post freely to the site, or may be subject to editorial review. Editorial review entails the email notification of content posted to their assigned editor, where it is review, and approved for 'release' to the site.


How To Use

The steps below allow the Primary Administrator to easily create and manage administrators and editors for any Audience or Site Administrator (in the event of an initiative requiring editorial review).

  1. Log in to the Client Console, as the Primary Administrator
  2. Click on the category Sites/Administrators
  3. Click on Audience Admins or Site Admins (depending on which needs to be managed)
  4. Enter the title (either the site name or administrator per site)
  5. Enter their personal information including the Username and Password that they will use to log in to their own console to manage their sites information
  6. Select the modules that they should have access to (a multi-select function is provided here to cherry-pick specific access to modules)
  7. Select the Designated Audience or Site that they are in charge of managing
  8. Select whether this administrator is free to post to the site, or requires editorial review
  9. Select the Audience Type, Site that they belong to
  10. Select the Editor that is in charge of reviewing their postings (only relevant if the administrator is set to Review)

IMPORTANT: You will want to enter all editors first prior to the administrators that they are in charge of reviewing. In this way, you will be able to assign editors to administrators, free of aggravation.
 
NOTE: If an administrator is tagged Review all submissions made by them will be routed to the editor assigned, to review and release prior to any submission being posted to the site.
