There are four different usertypes, but only three of them are for the administration area.

• Administrator

• Publisher

• Autor

the fourth type is the extranetuser.

Every type has its own specialties to allow you to create the workflow you need.

The Administrator:

The administrator is the usertype which is not supposed to work on the content. The administrator is the user which edits the structure and look & feel of the site. He creates new user, has the possibility to change colors, fonts, width and so on. He is able to view the site statistics and plan and create new campaigns to improve the site. Practically all administrative tasks fall in his field of responsibility.

This usertype can not have any special authorizations. He is able to access all functions of the whole system.

The Publisher:

The publisher is the default user in the system. You have the possibility to set permissions for publishers for every function in the system. So he can be as restricted as a autor or an administrator. As an example you can give him permission to create and publish articles. This way you can use the publisher as a controlling instance. You can even give different publishers permission for different categories so can split the workflow even more. Instead of publishing he also has the option so send the article back with a message attached. Then the autor has to edit the article again and send it for publishing again.

The Author:

Authors are the usertype with the lowest amount of possibilities. It is only possible to allow access on the article and mediadatabase functions. Additionally he can be restricted on certain categories to write in. Authors are by default the users who write articles and correct it when something changes.

But if you realize smaller projects it is often useful to only work with the publisher usertype because the workflow is simpler and shorter.

The Extranetuser:

The extranetuser does not have access to the administration area. Instead he can log in on the website and access the so called extranet or just some additional secure content.
