SayPro Description: Role Assignment Using SayPro’s CMS

As part of the SayPro Monthly January SCMR-4 initiative, this training module equips participants with the essential skills to manage and assign user roles effectively within the SayPro Content Management System (CMS). Proper assignment of roles ensures that the entire content lifecycle—from creation to approval and publication—is executed smoothly, securely, and with clear accountability.

Instructional Purpose

The purpose of this component is to train participants to:

• Understand the hierarchy and responsibilities of various CMS user roles.
• Align user access levels with their actual duties within SayPro’s marketing and communication structures.
• Promote responsible content creation, review, and publishing through controlled access.

Participants will follow predefined guidelines and permission structures approved by the SayPro Posts Office under the leadership of SayPro Marketing Royalty (SCMR).

Practical Application

Using the CMS interface, participants will be guided step-by-step through the process of:

1. Identifying User Responsibilities
   Understanding who is responsible for drafting, reviewing, editing, and publishing content within a given department or project.
2. Matching Roles with Permissions
   Assigning one of the following roles based on responsibility:
   • Contributor – Can write and submit content but cannot publish.
   • Editor – Can modify, approve, and schedule content for publishing.
   • Administrator – Has full control over user management, publishing, and site-wide settings.
3. Executing Role Assignments
   Navigating the CMS dashboard to assign or adjust roles to users and ensuring changes are saved, recorded, and submitted to the SayPro Posts Office for validation.
4. Verifying Access Controls
   Testing access levels by logging in as various roles (when permitted) to confirm proper restrictions and privileges are in place.
5. Maintaining Role Integrity
   Keeping a record of all role assignments for compliance audits and future reference as part of the SCMR documentation requirements.
