Who Maintains Site Content

The School of Medicine manages more than 500 websites. Because of this scale, the SOM IT Web Team does not create or maintain individual site content. Instead, each site is managed locally by its assigned site administrators and editors, under the oversight of the primary site administrator.

Responsibilities

  • Site editors are responsible for ensuring that all content is accurate, up to date, accessible, and appropriate for a public audience.
  • The primary site administrator oversees content strategy, permissions, and publishing practices for their site or department.

Training Requirements

  • Anyone assigned the Administrator role must complete the Introductory Web Training course before access is granted.
  • Editors with other roles are strongly encouraged to complete training as well; however, this requirement is at the discretion of the primary site administrator.

Temporary Support

  • In limited cases, the Web Team may offer short-term assistance to sites that have temporarily lost an editor or administrator. This support is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and typically limited to urgent content updates or essential maintenance.
