Administrator Overview

The CommonSpot Administrator module is a web dashboard that gives you administrative control over your CommonSpot installation and web sites.

Through a simple browser-based interface, authenticated administrators can manage:

Servers - Configure CommonSpot Content Server: specify server license, proxy and ColdFusion administrator settings; define data sources; create, change, activate and remove sites; specify authentication methods and cookie settings; set up the CommonSpot directories; set schedules for replication and other jobs; and configure email notification.

Customers - Create and manage multiple customers in a hosting environment, and manage contributors.

Sites and Subsites - Create and configure options for individual Web sites supported by the CommonSpot, including site directories; security; content creation, formatting, and classification settings; permissions and approval levels; search and saved search collections; and the CommonSpot Rich Text Editor.

SEO Administration - Create and configure Keyword performance reports, competitive analysis tools and reports, on-page grading rules and analysis, reports to help you identify pages ranking high for specific keywords so you can target them for improving search engine performance, and context-sensitive field Help to enable authors and editors to optimize pages for search engine discovery and ranking

Users - Set up and maintain user profiles and permissions.

Groups - Create and manage groups and group membership.

CommonSpot Administration also offers integrated access to the CommonSpot Integrated Customer Support system and support resources.

Access to the CommonSpot Administration module is limited to designated administrators. See Security and Server General Security for more about CommonSpot security.
