Access to site management functionality via the ITS Web Hosting Services Portal and the Pantheon dashboard is based on the Managing MCommunity Group selected during the site-creation process.
You should select (or create) an MCommunity group that includes all individuals you want to be able to manage your website. Only MCommunity group Owners can access site management functionality via the ITS Web Hosting Portal, and only MCommunity group Members can access the Pantheon dashboard.
Overview of site hosting access based on MCommunity group role:
| Permissions | Owners | Members |
|---|---|---|
| Automatically provisioned as Site Team members in Pantheon. | No | Yes |
| Manage site hosting in the Pantheon dashboard. | No | Yes |
| Add/remove MCommunity group owners and members. | Yes | No |
| Manage site hosting via the ITS Web Hosting Portal. | Yes | No |
| Change Shortcode associated with Pantheon charges. | Yes | No |
| Change Pantheon paid plan. | Yes | No |
| Delete Pantheon websites. | Yes | No |
External members (outside U-M) can be added to MCommunity groups, but they cannot be assigned an Owner role. If they have one, it is recommended that you add external members using a U-M sponsored uniqname, as this will allow them to sign in using multi-factor authentication.
Individuals should be removed from the MCommunity group when they no longer need access to site management/hosting functionality.
