Content Editors & Group Content Editors

Content editors can edit selected content categories; however, they can't create new categories or edit categories to which they do not have access. For example, if some users should only update the admissions events, then page managers can create content editors and grant them access only to the "admissions events" category.

Group content editors can edit specific content on section pages. For example, if some users should edit photos for the "varsity football" team or announcements for the "advanced chemistry", then page managers can create group content editors and grant them access only to those section pages. Group content editors then go to the section page to edit the content.
