What you can do and what you can't do

Most users that can access the T4 system have a "Moderator" access level. This gives you access to make changes to approved areas of a web page. 

Within the editable area as a moderator of your website you can:

  • Edit, add and remove text on a page.
  • Add and remove links from a page.
  • Add new instances (copies) of a "Content Type" (template) to a page.
  • Expire a "Content Type" on a page.
  • Add and remove images (.jpg .gif .png) from a page.
  • Add and remove links to documents from a page.
  • Add images to the "Media Library".
  • Add documents to the "Media Library".

As a moderator, you can not:

  • Add or delete new pages from a site.
  • Access T4 site settings.
  • Create new Content Types (templates).
  • Alter parts of the template, design, or layout of a page.
  • Directly edit code.

Editable Areas

The main text area of a site (highlighted below) is the area a moderator has access to make changes to. Places outside of this highlighted area are a part of the main SMU website template which can only be changed by a site administrator.

A department can request that an administrator from the web team add new pages, or delete old pages from a department site. Requesting changes outside of the navigation for a departments site would impact the main template which controls the design and layout for all SMU web pages. Changes to these areas are only done under special circumstances.
