Administration of rights

When new sites are created, rights are automatically given to the institute's web manager, who can delegate rights.

Rights in Sitecore are managed via DTU lists. A DTU list can contain several people who must have access to the same areas in Sitecore.

DTUlists are assigned roles. There are two roles:

  • Administrator: Lists of administrator roles are typically found at each institute/department. This is the list that is automatically added to new sites in connection with creation.
  • Editor: Lists with the editor role can be created ad hoc as they are needed.

New lists must always be assigned a role before they can be placed on individual sites and areas. The web team can help with this. Note: New lists can only be seen in Sitecore the day after creation, as it requires a nightly update of the DTU database.

Once the list is given the right role, it can be used to grant rights to certain areas of your site. This can either be done from the top level, e.g. Front page, or it can be given in selected areas.

Under the Security tab, you can see which lists have been placed on an area of your site. You can also add lists here.
