Site roles and permissions (WCMS 2)

When creating content in the Waterloo Content Management System (WCMS) you do so using a form. These forms are called content types. Which content type you use depends on the type of content you are creating.

Your access to these content types is dependent on your role(s) within the WCMS.

The main roles within the WCMS include:

• Site Manager (website leads and their backup)

• Content Editor (Create/edit and publish content)

• Content Author (Create/edit drafts and put in 'needs review')

Note: Content maintainers should be given only 1 of the above roles.

Other roles within the WCMS:

• Form Editor (to create and edit forms)

  • Site managers can add and remove the form editor role or change the expiry date.

• Form Results Access (to view/download form results)

• Special Alerter
