Introduction to your Content Manaement System (CMS)

Congratulations on implementing your new website! Please note that this is no “normal” website. Your site is a powerful and dynamic content management system (CMS). You have the ability to control and maintain many aspects of the site without needing any technical knowledge. Please use the following information to familiarize yourself with how your CMS is a powerful tool for your organization.

What is a Content Management System?

Wikipedia's Definition of a web-based CMS:

A web-content-management system (WCM, WCMS or Web CMS) is content management system (CMS) software, implemented as a Web application, for creating and managing HTML content. It is used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images). A WCMS facilitates content creation, content control, editing, and essential Web maintenance functions.

Bottom Line: Your new CMS is a powerful platform that will allow you you to have full control to maintain your content.

User Accounts and Roles

A user account consists of a user name, email address and a password. User accounts are assigned roles that determin what pages they can view and when functions they can perform once they have logged in to the web site. User accounts can be assigned multiple roles.

User Accounts and Roles can be managed by the "Role Administration" role.
