How to get access to edit Drupal websites

Before you start 

When editing use Chrome, Firefox or Safari but NOT Internet Explore

1. Find out which website(s) you are going to be editing.
2. Ask the Web Content Manager what your role is going to be (If you are Web Content Manager requesting permissions for someone else you will know this information). If you do not know who the Web Content Manager is you should ask your Site Owner to check this for you. 
3. Log in to the URL of the website in question by putting /user at the end of the URL and clicking on the link 'log in' which is in the first sentence. Alternatively. scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the cross next to 'Contact Us' in the footer. If you are going to be editing more than one website, you will need to log in to each individual site.
4. Fill in your UCL login credentials.
5. Email the Site Owner for your site to request editing access to the site. If you do not know who the Site Owner is check the list of Drupal sites to find out. 
6. Let your Site Owner know:
   1. that you or the person you are requesting access for have logged in to the site and send them the relevant site URL
   2. provide the name, email and username of the person who needs access
   3. state what their role is going to be (Web Content Manager, Editor or Contributor). To find out more about each role and the permissions visit the roles and publishing page
7. The Site Owner will grant the editing permissions and let you know when it is done.
