Users and Roles

Roles are site-specific, users may have different roles on different sites.   With the exception of OUB Digital Communications staff, all Content Hub user accounts are assigned a Content Editor role.

Content Editors

A Mason staff or faculty member who manages content for one or more sites.  Site Owners create Content Editor accounts on managed sites.

Requirements:

  • Must be a Mason faculty or staff member
  • Basic computer skills (word processing, email, etc)
  • Permission of the appropriate Site Owner

Responsibilities:

  • Adherence to Mason computing and branding standards.
  • Content curation on one or more individual websites.

Example tasks:

Content Editors are able to:

  • Add, edit and delete pages, sections, and blocks
  • Manage primary and sub navigations
  • Change and manage the items on your site's Main Menu

Site Owners

Every SiteMasonry site must have at least one, and preferably two, in-unit Site Owners.

Site Owners have added permissions to edit and manage site-wide settings, such as the site title and social media account links. These should be active users who are logging in to manage the site frequently (this is not a "sign off" role, and very likely will not be a Dean or other senior staff member).

Requirements:

  • Must be a Mason faculty or staff member
  • Basic computer skills (word processing, email, image editing, etc)

Responsibilities:

  • Adherence to Mason computing and branding standards
  • Content curation on one or more individual websites
  • Support and help the Content Editors on your site
  • Serve as the first point of contact for Site Masonry administrators

Example tasks:

Site Owners have all permissions that are available to Editors. In addition, they may:

  • Configure site-wide settings, such as the Site Title and footer information.
  • Select or edit theme color settings.
  • Enter and modify Google Analytics/Tag Manager IDs.
  • Add and delete Content Editor accounts
