Creating permission groups

When Contribute users first connect to a web site, they are prompted to indicate which group they belong to (unless they connect using a key). For example, a Contribute user from the marketing team might choose the marketing group in their web site Connection Wizard. Thereafter, while they’re connected to that web site they will have whatever permissions you have configured for the marketing group.

To create a permission group:

1. Access the admin panel
2. Click the New button in the Permission groups section of the dialog box. The Permission Group Name dialog box appears.
3. Enter a name for the group you want to create in the New permission group name text box and click OK.
4. At this point you can either choose to send a Contribute connection key to the group you have created or you can modify the web site permissions for any group. Note: You can modify group permissions at any time, even after you have distributed a connection key. Connection information and web site permissions are maintained separately.
   • To modify permissions assigned to the groups you have created, select the group whose permissions you want to modify and click the Edit Group button. The Permission Group dialog box appears.
   • To send the connection key to the users that make up the group, click the Send Connection Key button. The Export Connection Wizard appears.
5. When you are satisfied with the groups you have created and have sent a connection key to the users in the group, click OK.
