Primary Site Administrator

Each School of Medicine (SOM) website is required to have a primary site administrator, who acts as the business owner for the site’s content. Responsibilities include:

1. Grant access to personnel who will assist in managing a site’s content. Refer to our Sharing and Permissions documentation to learn which roles can be assigned.
   • Access to a website should only be granted to users responsible for maintaining content on an ongoing basis. A single update, such as a change to a faculty profile, does not require access and should be completed by an existing site editor.
2. Ensure all site editors are properly trained.
   • Anyone assigned the Administrator role is required to attend our Introductory Web Training class before receiving access.
   • All other editors are strongly encouraged to attend the training but are not required. This is at the discretion of the primary site administrator.
3. Periodically review content to remove outdated, duplicate, or unnecessary pages. Sites that are not properly maintained may be flagged for review or taken offline.
4. Ensure site content meets accessibility requirements, including proper heading structure, meaningful link text, and accessible media.
5. Report site issues to the SOM web team so they can be addressed.
6. Ensure third-party content follows SOM guidelines and does not introduce accessibility, security, or compliance risks.
7. Adhere to SOM policies and best practices for managing site content.
