All content editors (Cascade and WordPress) must complete the university’s accessibility training through Siteimprove before they will be given access to edit content or manage updates on their site or pages. All those who complete the Accessibility Fundamentals for the Web course will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate should be emailed to [email protected] prior to web access being given.
This is the highest level of permission. Admins have the power to access almost everything. Only admins can manage user access and roles.
Editors have access to all posts, pages, comments, categories, and tags, and can upload media.
Section-specific content editors can manage content in specific areas of a website. For example, if we had a website with news, research, and a directory, we could create a role with the ability for an editor to only manage news content. This is not a default WordPress role and can only be managed using our supported Advanced Access Manager plugin.
Authors can write, upload media, edit, and publish their own posts.
Contributors have no publishing or uploading capability but can write and edit their own posts until they are published.
Viewers can read and comment on posts and pages on private sites.
Subscribers are people who subscribe to your site using an email address. They may or may not have a WordPress.com account.
