In addition to the System Administrator, there are ten view-specific administrative roles in the Jostle platform (five Content Owners and five View Owners):
- News Reporters and Editors
- Events Creators and Managers
- Library Volume and Category Librarians
- Teams Chart and Category Administrators
- Listings (aka Classifieds) Creators and Managers
By having multiple administrators, Jostle allows your organization to set up the responsibilities for maintaining your platform in a granular way. This is most effective, as it allows for your organization to fill these multiple administrative roles with the people who are best suited to maintain the content for a specific area, rather than placing just one person as an overall administrator in charge of everything.
For the administrative permissions of each role, see below.
