What is a content contributor?

A content contributor is a user who can add items to a content area folder. A contributor is assigned by the folder owner. Folder owners automatically have full contributor privileges on any folders that they own.

There are two levels of contributor:

Manage Items

Contributors with these privileges can add new items to the folder, and edit and delete any item in the folder.

Create With Approval

Contributors with these privileges can add items to the folder, and edit and delete those items until they are approved.

Items added by contributors with these privileges are not visible to other users until the folder owner has approved them. This enables the folder owner to distribute content production while still retaining control over what is displayed in the folder.

If you have the privileges required to add items to a folder, you will see Edit Folder in the folder's main banner. Click this link to access the tools required to add items to the folder. If you do not see this button, you can only view the folder and its contents.
