Types of Jostle administrators

 

 

In addition to the System Administrator, there are ten view-specific administrative roles in the Jostle platform (five View Owners and five Content Owners):

  • News  Editors and Reporters 
  • Events Managers and Creators
  • Library Category and Volume Librarians
  • Teams Category and Chart Administrators
  • Listings* Managers and Creators

*view name can be rebranded by System Admins

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.
