Extra Administrator or Site Manager

Add a new Joomla "Administrator" to the site

Person has the same full administrator site access/ control that the school MIS administrator has

This is usually handled by the MIS administrator. Log into their MIS portal and delegate these permissions by,

Clicking through the "Administration >> Manage School >> Delegate Tasks" TABs path
Add in other persons to the list (via MIS ID and only school MIS members)
Select the "Edit Portal Contents" checkbox beside the users they want to be "Administrators"
Click on the "Submit" button to save.

Add new Joomla "Manager" to the site

Person can log into the "Admin" panel and manage site contents - create menus - create pages - create dynamic page structures - manage the "media manager" to control document and image content ONLY

All other access such as component management - manage the Calender - zOOm media gallery - template control etc... is not available to them

This a 2 step process:

Note: School staff member MUST:
1. FIRST go to the web site front-page,
2. Log into the "Members Area" (MIS-ID and password required)
3. This "pulls" the persons MIS account "out" of the MIS and into the Joomla "User manager"
After this - the Joomla administrator logs into the "Admin" panel
1. Clicks open the "User Manager"
2. Clicks on the users account
3. Selects the "Manager" role/ "Group" and "Save"

The user now can manage or update content but not the Calender etc...

This allows both "Managers " and "Administrators " to log into into the "Admin" panel @ siteName/wcms/adminisrtators (if front-page link is disabled...)
