6 Deploying Contribute to Departments and Enterprises
Contribute deployment responsibilities
As a system or website administrator, you play a large part in deploying Contribute. The
deployment responsibilities include the following tasks:
•
Installing the Contribute software.
•
Creating connections to websites that users of Contribute (called content editors ) access.
•
Defining roles (a collection of privileges that you assign to a specific user or group of users).
Roles determine which users have, or are denied, access to a specific website.
•
Installing Contribute on individual computers throughout your organization.
•
(Optional) Integrating Contribute with Contribute Publishing Services.
The size of your organization and the job roles associated with your organization’s websites
determine who assumes responsibility for deployment. A single system administrator may be
responsible for all deployment, or other members of the organization’s web team or IT staff may
be involved. Administrators manage Contribute websites by controlling who has access to the site
and by specifying what kinds of changes content editors can make to a website.
Administrators, web masters, and web designers
If you are a system administrator, this might be your first time to work with web pages and web
content. Your role as a system administrator may intersect with the role of web designer. A web
designer can help you determine the editing and access requirements of your site and help you
construct the site so that users with limited web-design skills can easily update content.
Contribute gives you a great deal of power and flexibility in determining who can edit web pages
on a website and what types of changes they can make. For example, you might decide that all
Contribute users, with the exception of the web-design staff, are limited to editing text on web
pages, and that the web-design staff can edit text, apply new text styles (for example, change the
type font), and insert new images.
Contribute job functions
The following table describes the function of each role that relates to Contribute:
