Information about the editor and contributor roles in Mosaic, including competences and training required.
The table below outlines the two most commonly available roles for UAS staff on the Mosaic platform, their permission levels, and the competences and training staff are required to obtain before being given these roles.
As editors have wide-ranging permissions on the Mosaic platform, it is best practice to limit the number of editors per site to two or three wherever possible. This will maintain consistency not only with regard to the site’s content and design, but also in terms of workflow and governance.
Where individuals are not able to attend specific courses, for example writing for the web or information architecture, they should engage with the subject via available online resources, such as LinkedIn Learning.
