WCMS Policies

The WCMS Policies govern the use of the Web Content Management System. The following are excerpts from the WCMS Policies:

Group Name Change Policy

The Web Content Management System, Cascade CMS, does not allow users to change group names. WCMS Administrators will no longer change group names using external tools. Site Managers can create a new group with the desired name and delete the old group.

Site Name Change Policy

Site names exist for the WCMS Administrators to locate and organize sites. Site names follow a naming convention of Campus-Organization-Department.siteName (e.g. BL-COLLEGE-PSY.tomlab). Site Managers may request a site name change. However, access rights (ACLs) for all assets will be reset to the default state. It is the responsibility of the Site Manager to recreate ACLs and groups.

Suitable Use Policy

Only Public and University-internal data are suitable to be stored in the WCMS. Restricted and Critical data cannot be stored in the WCMS. For definitions of Public, University-internal, Restricted, and Critical data, see Types of data. In addition, federally and state-protected data, human subjects research data, and passwords cannot be stored in the WCMS. For more about data classifications, see About sensitive data at IU.
