Site owners are an important part of ensuring site editors have the correct access to sites within Omni 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.
Why is a site owner important?
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.
How do I view my site owners?
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.
What happens if there is not a site owner present?
If a site owner is not present, the site directory may be subject to removal during
our periodic CMS maintenance and cleanup.
Who is responsible for notifying CMS administrators of a new site owner?
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.
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 up to nine (9) site owner request changes in the same form. If you have any questions, please contact webhelp@uwyo.edu.
