Becoming a website administrator

Contribute lets you become the website administrator of any website that does not already have an administrator assigned. You or another member of your organization can become the Contribute website administrator at any time by selecting Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Macintosh). If you’re not sure whether you should be the administrator for the website, select the No option.

If you choose to become an administrator, you can control access to the folders in the website, assign permission groups and settings, and send connection keys to other Contribute users.

If the website already has an administrator, the wizard or assistant asks you to select a permission group. If you know the administrator password, you can connect to the Administrator permission group. For more information, see Selecting a permission group.

Note: (To administrators) Permission groups are not password protected. To force a user to use a specific group, send a connection key.

To become a website administrator:

  1. Select the Yes, I want to be the administrator option.

  2. Connection Wizard Administrator Information

  3. Enter an administrator password, and then enter it again to confirm.
  4. The password you enter protects access to the Administer Website dialog box. This prevents anyone other than a website administrator from changing the Contribute settings and user permissions.
