Becoming A WCM Publisher

If you or a member of your team need access or specific provisioning to the Web Content Management system (WCM), have your manager complete the Request WCM Access form on your behalf. Additionally, all users must first complete an online Canvas course, demonstrating an acceptable level of understanding of accessibility standards and usability best practices prior to being provisioned into the WCM.

  1. Web Publisher Canvas Course
  2. Request WCM Access (may require Dean/designee approval)

Important

  • Completing this course is required to gain edit permissions.
  • Bi-annual recertification will be required to maintain publishing privileges.
  • If you are not provisioned, you can contact the Web Publisher in your area to make changes to your website or submit a service ticket.
  • Additional steps are required to manage a campus Trumba events calendar.

Additional Training & Support

We are happy to provide training and consultation, better preparing you for working on your department or college webpages.

For general inquiries about web publishing, please submit an IRT service ticket.

You can also attend workshops or open labs that the IRT Web & Mobile Services team hosts on a regular basis. View the training calendar for the full schedule and to register to attend.

Request a New Web Page

You can now request a new T4 or T5 web page for your area of the website using the New Web Page Request Form. Before submitting the form, use the campus search bar to check if the information is already available on the Sac State website. This helps avoid duplicate content and keeps the site organized.
