ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3 5
User Guide
It is important that the Templates folder, which is located at the same level as the Contribute shared settings folder
(_mm), is accessible by all users, and the site's CSS (CSS folder), and server side includes (SSI folder) are protected
by role settings that restrict access to those folders. Web pages and associated files stored in these folders cannot be
edited using Contribute, preventing them from being inadvertently modified or damaged. To restrict users to
editing content in their workgroup's folder, create a role that limits access to a specific folder.
Deploying Contribute for multiple websites on one web server
This scenario has several departmental intranet sites, each of which needs access restricted to members of the given
department. To accomplish this, the administrator creates a separate Contribute connection for each department's
folder in the website (to essentially create subsites). In addition, each department has its own set of Dreamweaver
templates on which to base new pages.
When connecting users to their respective sites, the administrator creates and distributes a connection key for each
website connection.
In this scenario, three administrator connections are created. The site administrators create a connection to their
department's section of the website (for example, /myIntranet/sales). Additional roles can be created to define any
restrictions for users in the site (for example, to specific subfolders in the Sales folder or to set editing options).
