Workflow the way you want it...

Scribus makes setting permissions and assigning roles a breeze.

You can choose separate roles for editing, reviewing, publishing and administrating all site content. Integrated into the Group section of your site, the settings are fully configurable.

• Role-based workflow - specify who can create, edit, delete and publish pages.
• Allow administrative access for select users – giving them the power to add dynamic content, change permissions, create CMS sections, etc.
• Monitor activity - discover who has created or altered pages.

Scribus also uses the Telligent Community security model. This means that you’ll only need to configure one set of accounts for the entire site (saving you lots of time and effort).
