CMS Site Owners

Site owners are an important part of ensuring site editors have the correct access to sites within Modern Campus CMS. A site owner does not always have to be a CMS site editor, but more common than not, the site editor who edits a CMS site most frequently is also often a site owner. Use this page to view current owners or submit changes if needed.

Everything You Need to Know About Site Owners

placeholder

You may be the site owner if you have the authority to make major web decisions without having to consult with other people in your unit. It could also be the original person who requested the site or Dean/Director who requires their approval for others to make changes. You may have more than one site owner for your site and a site owner does not necessarily have to be a website editor. 

A site owner is someone who meets all of the following criteria:

  • Has the authority to approve CMS administrators to add or remove site editors from their site
  • Has the authority to request (or has already requested) a new site to be created in the CMS
  • Makes decisions on behalf of your website including new pages, restructuring, etc.
  • Can request changes on behalf of the department or unit's site

In order for administrators to verify that a site editor is authorized to access a site, we work with the Account Security Office (ASO) to verify with the site owner that the site editor in question can be added to that CMS site directory. This is an important process because unauthorized access can result in major content errors and even legal implications should a website be changed without authorization. In order for us to successfully manage access, both a primary and backup site owner is needed at all times on a CMS website.

You can view your site owner at anytime by accessing the Current CMS Site Owner list. Note this is a view only list and changes must be conducted through the form on this page.

It is the responsible site editors who maintain the their sites to notify administrators if they know a site owner has either left the university of transferred to another department. ASO maintains the active directory for all employees but does NOT maintain site ownership. Neither ASO or Institutional Marketing are responsible for incorrect information if neither unit is notified of a site ownership change.

If a site owner is not present, the site directory may be subject to removal during our periodic CMS maintenance and cleanup.

Read the instructions on the form carefully to determine who the appropriate site owners should be. Ensure both your primary and backup site owners are correct. You can add one site owner request change per form. If you have any questions, please contact webhelp@uwyo.edu.
