MonkCMS Help

The CMS provides special access privileges to users designated as "site administrators". Unique to site admins is their ability to view the People tab and edit the roles and permissions of other users.

The permissions system itself can manage user ability down to granular levels using combinations of read, write and publish privileges for each of the various modules. 

If the user is already a member of the CMS and you wish to give them administrator access:

1. Go to People -> Members.
2. Select the person you wish to give site admin access by clicking on the pencil icon.
3. Select the Permissions on the right tabs.
4. Check the box for "Site Administrator"
5. Click "Save".

If the user has not been added to the CMS, follow the steps below to give them administrative priviledges.

1. Go to People > Members.
2. Select "Add new Member".
3. Fill in the relevant user information and save.
4. On the next screen, check off all three checkboxes to give the user access to the CMS and grant administrator access.
5. Save.
6. A link entitled "send login information" now appears for use. Clicking send on this link will email credentials to the email address on file for this user.
