What is a content contributor?

| Related Help Topics | Additional Information |

A content contributor is a user who has sufficient privileges to add items to a page. Page owners automatically have full contributor privileges on any page they own.

There are two contributor levels:

• Manage Content: Contributors with this privilege can add new content to the page and edit and delete any content on the page.
• Manage Items With Approval: Contributors with this privilege can add items to the page or edit any existing items. However, added or edited items are not published (that is, they are not displayed to other users) until they are approved. Approvers are content reviewers identified in an approval process defined by the page owner or the page group administrator. Contributors can track items waiting for approval through the My Approval Status portlet.

When you have the privilege required to add items to a page, an Edit link displays on the page. Click this link to access the tools required to add items to the page. If you do not see this link, you can view the page and its content but you cannot edit it.
