Site Visibility
By default, all sites are deployed as Only registered users of this site can view it — meaning only people you have added in Users > All Users can view your site. When you’re ready to make your site public, see Making Your Site Public.
User Access
Only Yale NetID holders can create a site. Only valid Yale NetID users (authenticated via CAS) can be added as users to a site. Non-Yale users can only view sites that are publicly available. See how to add Yale users here.
Yale Web Policies
CampusPress use is subject to both the Information Technology Appropriate Use Policy and the Web Accessibility Policy.
Feature Requests
Plugins add functionality and Themes are all about the display — content regions, widgets, menus, sidebars, and footers.
If you don’t see a theme or plugin you’d like to use, please fill out the feature request form and tell us the needed functionality or link to the plugin or theme you like. If it can’t be added to the network, we can help you find a workaround.
