Managing Administrators

Within the CMS, individuals with permissions to modify and enhance website content are denoted as administrators. All administrators must have a @gvsu.edu account to be added to the CMS. There is no limit to how many administrators can be added to a single CMS site, nor is there a limit to how many sites a administrator can be added to. 

Adding Administrators

  1. Log into the CMS

  3. Click Administrators
