Adding users to your website (CPS only)
When you enable Contribute to work with CPS (see Enabling Contribute websites to work with CPS (CPS only)), you must
add users to the website from your LDAP, Active Directory, or file-based
user database.
Note: Any users previously connected to the website
are removed.
Users cannot connect to a CPS-managed website unless you have
added them as users. This differs from using Contribute without
CPS, where anyone with a connection key and connection information
can connect.
In Contribute, select Edit > Administer Websites >
Website Name.
The Administer Website dialog box appears.
Select Users And Roles from the list of administrative categories
on the left.
Click Add Users.
The Add Users dialog box appears.
Select a role to assign users from the Role For The New Users
pop-up menu.
The role you assign determines the users’ editing
permissions for modifying the site’s pages.
Add users to the role you selected. The Search Results panel
lets you locate users in your organization’s user directory and
add them to the list of users for the role you’ve selected.
Do
the following to find and add user names to a role:
Enter a name in the Search text box, and then click Search.
Contribute shows the closest matches it finds in the Search Results
list.
Select the name of the user you want to add to the role,
and click Add to move that user to the list of Users to add.
If
you inadvertently add a user to a role, you can remove that user
by selecting their name in the Users to add list and clicking Remove.
(Optional) Select the Send Connection Key e-mail To Users
option to send an e-mail to the users you’ve added to the role.
Contribute
creates a single e-mail message with a connection link that you can
send to the users. The e-mail lets the user know that they’ve been
given access to the website, and the connection link lets them easily
import connection information into their copy of Contribute.
Click OK to close the Add Users dialog box.
The Users
And Roles panel of the Administer Website dialog box shows the new
users who are assigned to a specific role.
To add additional users, repeat steps 4 through 8.
Now you are
ready for user to install Contribute and connect to the website. For
more information, see Deploying Contribute and website connections.
