Permission types

SiteBuilder has four main levels of permission to control who can view or edit pages and files in a website: view; contributor; edit; and admin. To assign or remove permissions, you must have admin permissions yourself. You can apply permissions to individual pages and files, sections of a site or an entire site.

Predefined permission groups

You can use the following predefined groups to add permissions in bulk:

  • Any user whether signed or not – i.e. public domain
  • Any University member – staff and students
  • Staff and postgraduate research students
  • Staff only – excluding postgraduate research students
  • Alumni
  • Applicants - i.e. students applying to study at Warwick who have registered
  • STUDENT – all undergraduate and taught postgraduate students
  • STUDENTNOPGT – all undergraduate students
  • PGTAUGHT – all postgraduate taught students
  • PGRESEARCH – all postgraduate research students

Note: When you make a page available to Any user whether signed or not it becomes publicly visible and must comply with the accessibility guidelines. When editing a publicly visible page, you will see a green banner above the SiteBuilder toolbar to remind you of this.
