    Content Contributor Access Level

    I would like one more level of admin access that is more restrictive than the Website Editor level.  For lack of a better term I'll call it the Content Contributor level.  Members at this level would be able to:

    • Edit existing pages (i.e., add content to existing pages) -- ideally, I'd like to give them specific page-level access so they can only edit pages that they are cleared to edit.
    • Create new events (optional at admin's choosing)

    They would not be able to:

    • Edit page header or footer
    • Add new pages
    • Delete pages
    • Edit metatags
    • Add restricted access sections
    • Edit admin settings for events, member applications, donations, member directory, blog, discussion forum

    The purpose of this level is to keep our non-technical committee heads from mucking up the website.  The more restricted they are to their specific functional area, the better and simpler for everyone.

    Re: "Content Contributor" Access Level

    Thinking about this a little more.... is it possible to create a custom access level where the admin can pick and choose which functions a member has access to?  Sort of a big list of checkboxes and the admin can check or uncheck various options?  Maybe down the road?  In the short term, I'd be happy with the above.

    Sounds like a good idea - though most probably it will be quite a while before we get to this.

    Since that time we have added functionality to add admins with web edit access per specific pages. I think this covers initial request.
