General Usage:

• Corporate and the Platforms are responsible for managing the rights of their respective users through the Site Manager java tool (also referred to as CoreMedia Editor). You can create users, change passwords, and assign rights to users by adding group memberships to their profile. 

Location of Tool:

• You can access the java tool at this link for the Production Site Manager. There are additional Site Manager tools for Stage and Dev. You may create users in these other environments although they will be created/overwritten by the Production version during each CoreMedia copydown to Stage and Dev environments.

Launching Site Manager:

• Before attempting to launch Site Manager, you will need to add the correct entries to the "Configure Java" tool on your computer. Type "Configure Java" into the search box on Windows and launch the tool. Go to the security tab and you will see "Exception Site List". Click "Edit Site List" and add the following URLs below to the list. When done click "OK" and click "OK" again to finish.
  • https://p1-sitemanager.emerson.com/editor-webstart/
  • https://d1-sitemanager.emerson.com/editor-webstart/
  • https://s1-sitemanager.emerson.com/editor-webstart/
• After you have added Site Manager urls to the java exception list, you can use the link above. Clicking on the link will open a new browser tab and take you to a landing page where you will click on the "Launch" CTA button to initiate a download of the java webstart file you will use to launch Site Manager. You can save this file somewhere on your computer for future access without needing to go to the link above. 

Logging in to Site Manager:

• If you have already been granted admin access to Site Manager, you will log in with your CoreMedia username and password. If you are requesting access you will need to enter a service desk ticket to Enterprise IT.

Creating New Users:

• The simplest way to create a new user is to copy memberships from an existing user. To do this:
  • Open the user you wish to copy by clicking on the "Open user" icon.
  • You can then search for an existing user using the search function.
  • Click on the user you wish to copy and the user will open in a tab.
  • Click on the "Create a new user" icon to open a tab for a new user.
  • Enter a new user name with the convention: FirstnameLastname
  • Create a password and re-enter to confirm.
  • Switch to the tab for the user you wish to copy memberships from. 
  • Click on the first membership in the list, scroll to the bottom of the list, hold the shift key and click on the last item to select all memberships.
  • Right click anywhere in the blue highlighted area and select copy.
  • Switch to the new user you just created and in the membership area right click and select past. 
  • Click the floppy disk "Save member" icon to save the new user you just created. This may take several seconds or more to complete.
• Important note: If the new user you created is going to utilize localization workflows for translations, you need to add them to each locale that they will be authorize to send translations to. Check the Localization page for more information on how to add the user to the Translation Config Settings file in each locale.

Adding other membership groups:

• If you need to add a single membership role to a user you can select it from an existing user as explained above or click on the poorly named icon "Open selected group" and search for a role to add to your user. 
• This guide will not go into detail on creating new membership groups. Contact Enterprise IT if you feel you need assistance creating a new membership group. 

Java error:

• The java webstart launcher may return an error when you switch between the different Site Manager environments for Prod, Stage, and Dev. When this happens, you will need to open the Configure Java tool and under the General tab find "Temporary Internet Files" and click "Settings". From the next screen click "Delete Files" and click OK.
