Create a user role
When Contribute users connect to a website, they are prompted to
indicate which role they belong to. You'll create a role for chefs who need
to update the menu on the Cafe Townsend sample website.
1.
Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute >
Administer Websites (Macintosh), and then select the Cafe Townsend
website from the submenu.
2.
Click Yes in the dialog box that asks whether you want to become the
website administrator, enter and confirm an administrator password for
the website, and click OK.
In the Administer Website dialog box, you see that Contribute has
three roles by default: Administrator, Publisher, and Writer.
You're going to create a new role for the Cafe Townsend chefs.
3.
Click the Create New Role button.
4.
In the Create New Role dialog box, select the Publisher role from the list
under Create New Role from Copy Of.
Selecting an existing role as a basis for a new role lets you reuse the
selected role's settings. You can modify the new role's settings as needed.
5.
In the text field, type Chef as the name of your new role, and then
click OK.
Now the Chef role appears in the list of role names in the Administer
Website dialog box.
Leave this dialog box open. Next, you'll modify settings for the Chef role.
