ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3
User Guide
6
Users can browse the entire site but are restricted to editing in their department’s folder. By restricting user’s editing
privileges to their department’s web pages, each group can maintain control over their web content and can act more
independently with the content they make available to the entire organization. A potential drawback to this
arrangement is that users in different departments cannot collaborate on pages. Each department must work
independently.
Deploying Contribute to a staging server and a live server
Many organizations use a staging web server with their production web server. A staging server lets you create
websites on a non-production web server, so you can generate and test content without making it live on your
organization’s public website. The use of a staging server also lets you maintain an automatic backup copy of all your
website content.
In regard to Contribute, the use of a staging server lets you copy only folders and files that you specify as necessary
for your website. This enables you to use Contribute to update web content on the staging server, but only publish
the necessary web pages to your production web server for public access.
