Super-Admin Site Creation SOP

Standard operating procedure for creating new sites and users

Creating new sites

Site address: For SEO URLs should be words not abbreviation, unless it's a non System specific abbreviation, like PK16
Supersites: Need to be short words or universal abbreviations. Supersite require the commitment of existence for 6 or more years.
Site Title: Title should not have "Office" or "UWs", that is inapplicable or redundant
Admin email: Should be Webteam@uwsa.edu
After creating the site, you must assign it a profile.
- From the dashboard of the new site, go to Tools > Site Defaults.
- Choose the desired profile (legacy for the old theme), pull active plugins from source site, then pull options from source site.

Networks

We have multiple networks

Main Network

Adding Users

Roles

There are three roles plus super admin:

Editor: This is the default role for office users.
Author: Authors can't use Zuse Create.
Stakeholder: This role allows viewing unpublished sites.

Usernames

Users log in with SSO and are automatically assigned a username based on their EPPN.

Wisconsin.edu users will probably be rachel.klingler@wisconsin.edu → rachel.klingler.uwss.wisconsin.edu

If you are having trouble figuring out a users username, have them log in and hover of the 'Howdy' menu in the top right to display the username they were assigned.

Environments

Using non-prd environments allows you to test changes without putting production at risk.
