Manage webmasters

The settings for access to the Website Application can be made in the Organization Application. Users who are given unlimited access to the Website Application are webmasters for all websites and all corresponding web pages. However, you may want to give certain people access to only one of your websites, or only certain pages of a website. Such settings can be made in the Website Application itself.

  1. Create a role in the Organization, e.g. ‘Webmasters Website X’. Learn more about creating roles. When creating the role, it is important to choose at least one right for the Website Application in the tab ‘Rights’, but this right should not be ‘Unlimited’.
  2. Add the right occupants to the role.
  3. Go to the Website Application and choose the website to which you want to add webmasters.
  4. Go to ‘Settings’ and click the tab ‘Webmasters’.
  5. Click ‘Add’.
  6. Select the role you created in the Organization.
  7. Under ‘Pages’, indicate whether occupants of this role can access all pages or only the pages you select in the Website tree. To select pages, click on the plus sign in front of ‘Front page’ and the Website tree will unfold. When you select a subpage but not its parent page, a dash will appear in front of the parent page. This way you can easily trace back which pages you selected.
    Keep in mind that webmasters have access to the selected pages and their underlying pages, even when the underlying pages will be created in the future.
  8. Click ‘save’ to confirm.

Roles with access to the website are displayed in a table. The table shows the role itself and whether occupants have access to all pages or only to specific pages.

To edit the access of a role, click on the name of a role. You will then see the same screen as when making the settings. Repeat step 6 to 8.

To deny access to the occupants of the role, click on  on the right side of the role. Click ‘deny access’ to confirm or ‘Back’ to cancel.
