Distributed Publishing
What is a distributed publishing model?
Distributed publishing shares the responsibility for producing content across your enterprise.
Individual sections can have their own publishing teams comprised of authors, editors and publishers, and as a result, the specialists in specific areas take control.Â
Global authors, editors and publishers can still create, edit and manage content across the entire intranet, however the pressure and workload on their part is greatly reduced.

Implementing a distributed publishing model
Section roles are the local roles referred to above. Once you’ve created a section, go to manage that section in options and you’ll find roles and permissions.
When you add a member and then add a role to them, they become a part of your local publishing team with publishing powers.
The section roles and their publishing powers are as follows:
Publishing Role | Permissions |
Section Author |
|
Section Editor |
|
Section Publisher |
|
Section Content Reviewer |
|
Section Manager |
|
All of these local roles will help you establish distributed publishing in your enterprise.
Note that a user can have two roles. So a section publisher can also be a section manager if someone needs to have the permissions of both roles.

1. Go to your section
2. Select the overflow menu
3. Select ‘Manage members’
