Presto Content Management System
Your User Account

Documentation > Presto Content Manager Manual > The Basics

The permissions for your account will depend on the features and requirements of your particular site and thus cannot be documented here. However, based on your user-type, there are some general rules that will apply. Most, if not all accounts created for users outside of Communicopia staff will be either Content Managers or Content Authors;

  • If your account is a Content Manager;
    • you can create a new pages in the site hierarchy and decide if they will be published immediately or at some date in the future.
    • you can edit content that is currently live on the site.
    • you can delete pages.
    • you can manage the site hierarchy by creating links between pages, setting page sort order, and moving pages.
    • you can manage the version history of site pages.
    • you can manage what pages in the site hierarchy Content Author users have access to.
    • you can view reports. 

  • If your account is a Content Author:
    • you can create a new page in the site hierarchy. However that page will be created as a 'draft' and will not appear on the live site until a Content Manager user approves it and specifies when it should be published.
    • you can edit content that is currently live on the site. However when you save your changes those updates will not be applied to the live version of the page. Instead a new 'draft' version of that page will be created based on your updates to the 'live' version. It will not appear live on the site until a Content Manager user approves it as the new 'live' version of the page.

If you have questions about your user account please contact your project manager or virtual web master at Communicopia.
