Site editors, sometimes called site editors, are responsible for managing and maintaining web pages for their units. All site editors must complete CMS Site Author training before gaining access to the CMS.

Site owners have the authority to approve site access for new editors and can make major web decisions without having to consult with other people in their unit.

Sometimes site editors are also site owners, but this is not required. It will vary based on how your work unit operates.

When your department or unit has staff changes, it is the site owners' responsibility to make sure that updates are made to the site owners directory and to add/remove site editor access. This is a vital step in maintaining your website.

Your site is required to have a primary and secondary site owner.

The site owners are those people that can be contacted for making decisions about their web directories, such as website restructuring or granting permission when site editors request to have access to edit specific websites. CMS site owners can also be editors, but do not necessarily have to be website editors. They can be a department head, dean, business manager or supervisor.
