Roles
Tempest users can be assigned one of four roles:
- Site Admin
- Editor
- Author
- Contributor*
When a new user requests access to a site, their role is set to "Pending" changing their role one of the four roles above grants them access to the site with the permissions associated with that role.
*The contributor role is not configured for sites by default, but it can be set up if it is necessary. For more on the contributor role see this guide.

Note that it is possible to modify these roles on a per-site basis but by default this is how all sites are configured and modifications are rarely made. If you're not sure about the permissions on your site specifically and need to verify the configuration, please contact Maven Publisher Support.
In addition to the Permissions listed above, the Site Admin(s) are also the only users that are authorized to request changes to the site's configuration (page templates, meta data, styling, etc) through Publisher Support. If you need to request any changes like these, please have a Site Admin contact Publisher Support or request that your current Site Admin or another Editor change your role to Site Admin if that is appropriate.
Contact Publisher Support at pubsupport@thearenagroup.net to learn more.
