Applying for and managing authorisations
Webmasters applying for authorisation for editors and writers
Webmasters apply for the authorisation of editors and writers after consulting the head of department, who will designate the staff members to obtain those roles. Webmasters are responsible for ensuring that the correct people have the correct authorisations. Webmasters also apply on behalf of those who will become webmasters.
Guide for creating authorisation applications
Editor authorisation requires approved training
Applications submitted by webmasters are subsequently approved by the web editorial team provided that the person has completed the relevant training.
Once the web editorial team has given its approval, IT support will assign the authorisation. Other applications will be rejected and referred to the webmaster.

More information
If there is no webmaster
All parts of the University’s website need to have at least one webmaster. If there is no webmaster for incoming applications, the manager/head of department will be contacted and asked to designate a person and notify them of becoming webmaster.
If your website does not have a webmaster, contact your manager/head of department and ask for a decision to be taken about who should fulfil the role.
The person designated to become a webmaster for a part of the website lacking a webmaster for whatever reason submits their own application. During the approval process, the manager/head of department will be contacted by email to confirm that the person has been assigned to the role.
Please inform your manager/head of department that you have submitted an application and that he/she will receive an email confirming that you have been assigned to the role.
