immediate relationship with the content using a contribution icon. Instead, Manager is used to change settings that affect the entire page or site like assigning page templates
and changing section properties.
As such, you want to create a logical location for Manager and choose the appropriate time to display it always on or only display in contribution mode.
There are three places where Manager can display:
■
From every page on the site : You can add Manager to every page on the site to
give users a sense they are modifying the section or page they are viewing.
■
From a designated section : You can add Manager to a designated section of the
site where users go to manage everything. This may give users the sense they are managing the site from a central location.
■
From the Site Studio Administration page : Manager is always accessible from the
Manage Web Sites page on the content server. Any customizations you make to Manager do not affect this page.
If you add Manager to a section, you probably want to make that section viewable only in Contributor. You might also spend time designing a page template specifically
for Manager.
16.3 When Manager is Displayed
There are two states when Manager can be displayed:
■
Contribution mode : You can have Manager display only in contribution mode so
that the general public does not see it and instead only those with contribution access do.
■
All times : You can have Manager display on the site at all times so that everyone,
including all public users, sees it. The default setting in Manager is to display at all times.
16.4 Adding Manager to Your Site
When you add Manager to your site, you allow a user a site manager to modify the site hierarchy and perform several site management tasks. You can add Manager to
your site in two ways:
■

enabled. You can create as many manager configuration settings files as you like.
