Site Studio Users

Site Studio provides an environment where three types of users can create and maintain Web sites:

• Designer: Possibly a webmaster or web developer, this individual is responsible for creating the site, designing page templates, adding and editing fragments, setting up editable or manageable site areas, and so on.

• Manager: Possibly the head of a division or department, this individual is responsible for the structure of the site, modifying sections, creating areas, reassigning page templates, and so on.

• Contributor: Possibly a member of the marketing or sales team, this individual is responsible for adding and editing the content that appears on the site.

Typically, one designer works with multiple managers, and each manager with one or more contributors. The designer may also choose to initially hand the site over to a manager, who builds the site hierarchy and determine where content should go. The manager could then notify contributors to start updating (or creating) the content of the site pages.

Note: One person may have multiple roles, depending on the organization's size and structure.

In addition to these three Site Studio roles, there may also be separate site administrators, who could take on responsibility for assigning web addresses to the site, backing up the site, replicating the site, and so on. All these administrative tasks are performed on the content server.
