Brightspot CMS User Guide

Permissions and multiple sites


You can share assets between sites your company publishes.

Referring to the previous diagram—

  • You can make the asset Brand Storytelling available for publication on two sites: Brightspot and Blog.
  • You can make the asset Digital Newsrooms available for publication on only one site: Blog.

Because Brightspot organizes editors into roles and sites, when you share an asset with a site, you are also sharing it with other roles working on that site. If a role has access to site, and that site has access to an asset, then all editors associated with that role have access to the asset.

Referring to the previous diagram—

  • Adam is associated with the role Editor, and that role is associated with the site Brightspot. Referring to the illustration "Sharing content with other sites," Adam can publish the asset Brand Storytelling to the Brightspot site.
  • Harrison is associated with the role Reviewer, and that role is associated with the site Blog. Harrison can publish the assets Brand Storytelling and Digital Newsrooms to his site.
  • Olivia is a global editor with no role, so she can publish both assets to both sites.

Using combinations of permissions at the site and role level, you can fine-tune access rules to groups of assets.
