Select your Web site.

If you have multiple Web sites, select the one you want to allow others to edit from the drop-down menu under the Available Web sites section of the SimpleSite Main Menu. The list of Web sites available to you will include your personal Web site (either listed as faculty, students, and/or staff.washington.edu), sites for which you are the primary owner, and any sites that someone else has granted you access to edit.

Give others permission to work on your site.

You can give other people permission to work on your Web site. Many instructors choose to do this so their TAs can help create the course Web site. Follow the steps below to grant access to your Web site to assistants:

1. From the SimpleSite Home page, select Manage assistants for this Web site and click Next. You will move to the "Manage assistants..." page.
   
2. Click thumbnail to view full image.
   If you have already granted access to a group (which is a list of your assistants usernames or UW NetIDs), the group name will be listed next to "Grant access to". To grant access to another group or change the group, click Remove group(see figure above).
   
3. Select a group to whom you want to grant the specified access to your Web site by clicking Select Group. This will take you to the "Attach a group" page where you can select an existing group, or create a new group.
   
4. Click thumbnail to view full image.
   On the "Attach a group" page, select an existing group from the drop-down menu and click Attach group. To view the members of the group, select the group name from the drop-down menu, and click View Members. If you want to create a new group for your Web site assistants, click the "Create a group" button, and then follow these instructions for creating a group.
   You can create a "group" of just one assistant to help you create and maintain your Web site. If you want to edit, copy, or delete a group, or view the other Catalyst tools that use a group, you can go to Group Manager.
5. After you've attached a group, you should choose type of access to grant to the group. The options are as follows:
   
   Create and edit pages, and manage site statistics allows people whom you specify to create pages and folders, edit content, and delete files on your Web site. They can also view web statistics and manage web statistics options.
   
   Delete files and folders allows people whom you specify to delete files and folders in addition to creating and editing privileges.
