Access Rights

In order to enable cross-publishing, the administrator of a "lending" publication A must assign access rights to users of the "borrowing" publication B. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Export users from publication B.

  2. Import users to publication A.

  3. Assign publication A access rights to the imported users. The imported users can be assigned access to the whole publication or only to restricted sections. If publication B staff are only to be allowed to borrow publication A content items, then they should be given reader access. If they are to be allowed to modify content items, then they should be given journalist /editor access.

  4. If shadow section cross-publishing (see Shadow Section Cross-Publishing) is to be allowed, set the shared property of the sections that are to be shadowed.

Once access rights have been assigned, editorial staff on publication B will be able to see the parts of publication A to which they have access when using Content Studio.
