ACCESS TO POST:

Ideally, to start off, all BottomLiners will first be made Admins of their groups. If your group doesn’t have a Bottomliner, that’s okay, simply choose one or two people to manage your Group space on the site.

Whoever your group chooses to manage your group space, they must first Join the Group, then contact us atwebsite@occupyatlanta.org with their username and group name. In order for them to be able to add events we must then change their WordPress user role to “Author”. This gives them access to add events as well as a few other things. Those other things will be discussed with each person individually as needed.

Once a BottonLiner or designated group Rep is an Admin of their group they can add more Admins or Moderators to help keep their space organized and up to date. When they do Add new Admins, they only need to let us know if those new Admins need to be able to add events.

It was decided by 100% consensus in the Website Team that the Media Committee would decide the appropriate content for Headline Events and Headline News. However, since Media sometimes runs low on help and response time, and both Outreach and Action seem capable of making that decision as well, they are working with Media to determine the correct items for these areas. (Headline Events and Headline News are ONLY Press Releases, Occupation Wide Updates, Announcements, and Events – not Committee Meetings).

Generally, only Committees and Working Groups that have been approved by the GA will be added as a group on our website.

If anyone comes to us for access to post, an email account, or wanting an additional Group added, we will immediate ask for confirmation from Process.

Above all, we as the Website Team do not decide what information gets posted where on the website. We are the builders and modifiers of the website, we make the website look good, function properly, and we are here to assist those who need to learn, learn how to use the website.
