How to request editing permissions & adding / removing faculty from a Directory
Adding users to a department directory
Adding faculty or staff (users) to department websites (or directories) is something that only WebHelp staff can do. Once a user has been added, anyone with content editing permissions can edit the user profiles. Additionally, faculty or staff who have been added to a directory usually have editing permissions to edit their own profile. If a user is having difficulty updating their profile, they can email webhelp@wwu.edu for assistance.
Fill out the Add Faculty/Staff to Directory form. If you have a lot of users to add, you can also send a spreadsheet or other preformatted list to webhelp@wwu.edu, just be sure to include:
- Each person’s name
- Each person’s WWU email containing their CAS/universal login username
- Each person's department
- Each person's role or directory category (eg Faculty, Staff, Affiliated Faculty, Emeritus. These may vary depending on the directory.)
- The URL(s) of the directory we are adding these users to
Requesting editing permissions for self/or others
If you have hired staff or students whose responsibilities will include editing the website, please be aware that anyone requesting permission to edit content on any website needs to have taken the standard accessibility training within the last two years.
Once they have passed the accessibility training, that individual can fill out the Request Editing Permissions form.
Additionally, WebTech provides beginning Drupal training for new content editors to give them hands on instruction on the Drupal platform.
As always, if you have any questions about your website, please send an email with your inquiry to webhelp@wwu.edu and we will try our best to answer them.
