Overview

Adobe® Contribute® is a website editor that lets people connect to departmental and other websites so that they can update web page content. Administrative assistants, product managers, human resource managers, and other people in an organization can use Contribute to update their team website without having to contact a web team or other departmental resources.

For larger organizations, you can optionally use Adobe® Contribute® Publishing Server (CPS) with Contribute. CPS is a user management and publishing solution that lets Contribute administrators manage large groups of Contribute users and monitor what those users do on the website.

This chapter, intended for website administrators and IT professionals, gives you valuable information you need before you deploy Contribute, and optionally CPS, in an organization. It explains the Contribute user management models for using Contribute alone or with CPS, shows scenarios for setting up Contribute in a variety of IT environments, and lists the people and the various tasks involved in successfully deploying Contribute.
