Site Manager

On this page:


The Site Manager role is reserved for 1-2 user accounts on Berkeley Web Builder sites. Site Manager(s) are identified during the site spinup process and the Site Manager role is assigned to the appropriate user account(s) by the Web Platform Services team only. Site Managers are responsible for managing the user accounts and roles on their Berkeley Web Builder sites in addition to other responsibilities.

Primary responsibilities

  • Manage users and roles on website
  • Be familiar with all aspects of site building
  • Serve as primary point of contact for website
  • Make/approve requests for optional features

Site Managers are considered the main contact for individual Berkeley Web Builder sites. Site Managers should attend Site Builder training sessions along with any Site Builders who may be working on their sites. Site Builders, Editors, Contributors, and Members should work with their respective Site Managers to get access to sites and request additional features.
