Discussion

Contributors to one or more weblogs in the system are designated as authors. Each weblog in the Movable Type system can have one or more authors assigned to it, each with varying levels of access. Only System Administrators have the ability to add new authors.

To add a new author to the system, log in to Movable Type, click the Authors System Shortcut which will take you to the Authors Listing screen, then click "Create New Author." In the Profile section of the screen, enter the new author's username, display name, email address, website URL, initial password, and password hint. Choose which weblogs the new author will be associated with by selecting from the listing on the righthand side of the page, checking the appropriate box(es).

After saving the author's information, you will be presented with the Edit Permissions screen, with options for General Permissions and Weblog Permissions. Check the permissions you would like to grant the new author, and then save your changes.
