Publishing on the University Website

• Who can publish or edit the website:

  • A limited number of individuals are allowed to edit and update their website information. A department head or business office head must request that someone in their group be set up with publishing access. Make that request to webmaster@sdsmt.edu

• How to get publisher training:

  • Training sessions will be held online and may be set up as 1:1 with appointment. Contact webmaster@sdsmt.edu to request training.

• Website Syncing:

• Publishers work in our staging area. Work on staging gets published to the live site once a day at the end of the day. Check ektron-stage.sdsmt.edu (must be on the network - either connected or vpn'd in) to see what your changes look like before they go live.

• If you have trouble and need immediate help:

  • Contact Julia Easton (394-1860), Emma Rivers (394-1738), or Vickie Bender (394-1299).

How to request Publisher Access:

• • I will need more information from you, before I can begin the process to set up for Ektron publisher access.

  • Your request must include:

    • 1) Specific URL of the site you want to update;

    • 2) If student, I will need your student ID#;

    • 3) I need an email from the department head with their permissions.

  • After access is completed: I will send you an email on how to login and an online training link. I ask that you look through the online training before a sit down training.
