As a news author, you have access solely to create news items in the news module. It is possible to be a news author if your role is limited to creating news items, but in most cases, the role of news author is combined with that of an editor or user administrator.
We also have different roles associated with content. The purpose of these roles is to ensure that there are responsible individuals for every page on AU's website.
All pages created in TYPO3 must have one or more individuals assigned to these three roles:
Content Owner: A content owner is responsible for the content of a page or domain. For example, the content owner for an institute page is the head of the institute. Often, the content owner delegates daily responsibilities to a number of editors.
Page Owner: The person who creates a page automatically becomes the page owner and is responsible for ensuring the page is updated.
Page Responsible: A page owner can delegate the responsibility for updating and maintaining the page to a page responsible. The page responsible is the person who appears as the contact at the bottom of the page. If no page responsible is selected, the page owner will be listed as the contact person.
The daily responsibility for websites associated with Aarhus University lies with the so-called content owner. The content owner is typically the leader of the formal units, organizations, or associations that are to be represented on the web.
Responsibilities of the Content Owner:
The content owner can delegate editorial tasks to one or more web editors (see point 1). However, the overall responsibility cannot be delegated (see points 2+3).
