Issue

  • As a Site Administrator when I go to Content and click on the "+" button to add a basic web content, the basic web content option does not appear.

Resolution

  • As an Administrator, if you go to Web Content and click on the 3 dots on the upper right and select "Structures".
  • Click on the 3 dots beside the "Basic Web Content" structure and select "Permissions", you will see the roles and permissions.
  • Find the "User" role and check the box under "View" permission, then log back as a Site Administrator and go to Web Content. You will be able to see the Basic Web Content when you click on the "+" button.
