Best PracticesMinimum Settings That Should Be Set for Administrators


A couple of settings in the Administrative section of Contribute should be set up if a connection key is ever sent to a user. First, be sure that you create an administrator password that follows the strong password guidelines. This means that the password should contain a mixture of upper- and lowercase alphabetic characters, numeric characters, and special characters. In addition, try to avoid words that you can find in the dictionary. Instead, find a representation of a phrase that you can easily remember. For instance, a good example is something such as the phrase "My mother loves me today," which can be turned into Mmlmt_352. When changing an administrative password, you need to know what the old password was, so keep track of that information.

Second, be sure that the administrative contact email is set to a valid email address that is monitored. This email address is available to all the Contribute users as the contact for issues regarding the site. Therefore, it needs to be monitored so that someone can address user issues in a timely manner.

Finally, unless you absolutely do not have the space available, consider turning on the rollback feature. This feature is basically the undo feature within Contribute and will save you a lot of grief should something go wrong in the publishing process.
