Section 8: Site Manager Functions

The Site Manager's primary responsibility is to maintain the Manager List. The Site Manager must add all New Managers no matter what level the New Manager will be responsible for. The Site Manager has complete control over all aspects of the Site. If she feels a Manager is not acting responsibly, she can revoke the Manager's privileges or delete the Manager. The Site Manager also has complete access to all pages and directories, and she may update and delete any information without being assigned access privileges.

A secondary responsibility is to have an overall plan for the progression of the web site. She should have some idea of her community's needs and anticipate creating subdirectories.

8.1: Edit Site Manager List

This option allows a Site Manager to give another Manager access privileges to the Site. It functions in basically the same way as assigning a Page Manager or Directory Manager under the Directory Manager Functions.

Edit Site Manager

Click on "Edit Site Manager List" under the Site Manager Functions of the Manager Mode box. Select the box next the Manager's name to whom you want to give Site Manager access privileges, or de-select the box next to the name of the Manager from whom you want to remove access privileges (see figure above). Click the "Click Here to Save Changes" button at the top of the screen.

Edit Site Manager

A screen will appear that lets you select the default manager. Select the default manager and press the "Click Here To Save Changes" button. A screen will appear telling you the update was successful.

8.2: Add a New Manager to Manager List (Creating a New Account)

The second option under the Site Manager Functions is "Add/Edit/Delete Manager." Clicking on this Function brings up a new screen that obviously has several uses. In the top portion of the screen, there is a blank in which you can enter the "Desired Name" of a New Manager. After typing in the name, click on the "Add New Manager" button next to the blank.

Edit Site Manager

A new Personal Information Screen appears allowing you to enter data about the Manager. The completeness of the information you enter on this screen depends on your record keeping needs. Some information is required by the HCC Manager, particularly the Manager's name, email address, and phone number.

Edit Site Manager

Passwords required to gain access to HCC Manager Mode are entered on this screen (see Appendix D for suggestions for choosing good passwords). A New Manager cannot enter the Manager Mode until a password has been assigned.

Note: Passwords are case sensitive, upper and lower case letters should be entered exactly the same way each time.

When the New Manager's Personal Information has been added, click on the "Update Information for Manager" button to finish creating the account.

8.3: Edit a Manager's Personal Information

To update a Manager's Personal Information or to change/reissue a password, click on the "Add/Edit/Delete Manager" option under the Site Manager Functions. In the middle portion of the screen is the Manager List (the bottom portion is the Manager Mode box). Select the box next to the name of the Manager whose information you need to edit. Click on the "Edit" button at the top of the Manager List. The Personal Information screen will appear. Make any necessary changes, and then click on the "Update Information for Manager" button. The changes will be entered into the HCC Manager.

Edit Site Manager

Note: If a Manager forgets his or her password, the Site Manager can reissue one from this screen. An entirely new account does not have to be issued.

8.4: Delete a Manager

Edit Site Manager

Deleting the name of a Manager is easy. Return to Manager List by clicking on "Add/Edit/Delete Manager" under the Site Manager Functions. In the Manager List, select the name of the Manager you want to delete. Click on the "Delete" button at the top of the Manager List. A screen will appear telling you the deletion was a success.

Note: Once a manager has been deleted, he loses all access privileges. The pages and directories he was responsible for may need to be reassigned.
