What Are Site Roles?

Administrator – Full access to edit and publish pages. Manually given access by VPP Systems or existing site Administrators.

Staff, Alumni, Faculty, Postdoctoral – Certain parts of a site may be restricted to the Staff, Alumni, Postdoctoral, or Faculty roles. The WP site checks staff status with a central U of T database and applies the appropriate roles. A user can have more than one role.

Other Roles – A site may have custom roles in additional to the above defaults. The purpose of these roles vary depending on the site and how it is administered.
