When adding new users to your website, you will find that there is an option to choose which role the user will have on the website. This function is a vital tool to grant permissions to a user without making every user on your website an administer. Our custom roles are still in development, so please submit a support ticket if you encounter problems or have suggestions.
Administrator
This role is the highest role available to users and is intended for webmasters. They have the ability to:
- Create, Edit, Publish and Delete all Posts
- Create, Edit, Publish and Delete all Pages
- Manage all users
- Edit the theme
- Download website backup
Tech/Comms Team
This role grants access to most public-facing aspects of the website and is intended for youth and adult members of the technology and communications teams.
- Create, Edit, Publish and Delete all Posts
- Create, Edit, Publish and Delete all Pages
- Edit the theme
Author
This role allows the user to create content and is intended for members of the communications team who only write content.
- Create, Edit, Publish and Delete their own Posts
- Create, Edit, Publish and Delete their own Pages
Contributor
This role was created to allow more youth to have the ability to write posts to the website without direct interaction with any content. We imagined this role would be perfect for lodge correspondents or other youth who only write posts to the website. Note that someone with a Tech/Comms Team role or high needs to approve all posts to be published.
- Create, Edit, and Delete their own Posts
Historian
This role is able to create and edit all pages on the website. We created this role to allow multiple section historians to have access to update historical pages without needing a Tech/Comms Tech role or higher. As mentioned, this role would be ideal for the Section historian to update historical pages.
- Create and Edit all Pages
