User levels

Some of the tasks you can complete in Typecase depend on the level of access you have. The four access levels for Typecase users are:

• Contributor
• Author
• Editor
• Admin

Your level depends on:

• how much experience you have using Typecase
• how comfortable you are using Typecase
• how comfortable you are using our Editorial style guide and other guidance
• how much you need to use Typecase
• how many people in your department or team have access at each level

Email web-support@bath.ac.uk if you'd like to change your access level.

Contributor

If you're a Contributor, you can create and edit content items, but you can't publish them on your own. You need to ask an Author, Editor, or Admin to review and publish any changes you make.

You have one primary organisation and can edit content:

• owned by your primary organisation
• owned by groups belonging to your primary organisation
• associated with your primary organisation
• associated with groups belonging to your primary organisation

As a Contributor, you can't:

• publish, unpublish, or delete a content item
• update the Owning or Associated Organisation of a content item
• create or edit a Form, Navigation section, Landing page, or Topic
• edit the title or summary of an existing Landing page or Topic
• add, view, or create Labels
  

Author

If you're an Author, you can create, edit, and publish content items. You should always ask a colleague to review your content before publishing a page.

You have one primary organisation and can access content:

• owned by your primary organisation
• owned by groups belonging to your primary organisation
• associated with your primary organisation
• associated with groups belonging to your primary organisation

As an Author, you can't:

• unpublish, or delete a content item

Editor

If you're an Editor, you can create, edit, and publish content items. You should always ask a colleague to review your content before publishing a page.

You have one primary organisation but can also have multiple primary groups and multiple associated organisations or groups. You can access content owned or associated with those organisations or groups.

If a page is owned by your primary organisation, you can also:

• unpublish a content item so it no longer appears on the live website
• add Labels to a content item so it can be pinned to a Topic or included on a filtered list page
• change the owning organisation of a content item
• add and remove the associated organisations of a content item

As an Editor, you can't:

• delete a content item
• create a Form, Navigation section, Landing page, or Topic
• create Labels
  

Admin

All Admins are members of the Digital Content and Development teams who look after and develop the Typecase platform.

In addition to the Editor-level access, an Admin can also:

• delete content items
• create and edit any content type

Admins can see, edit, and publish any content item in Typecase no matter which Owning Organisation or Group owns it.
