Allow publishing access for more than one owner
Hi there,
Has there been any updates for this? We work in a collaborative team and multiple staff members may need to publish content.
Is there a way to 'co-own' or publish content where you are not the owner?
Hi NeilDutfield,
Thanks for checking in on this!
At the moment, publishing a Rise 360 course is limited to the course owner, and there isn’t a way to assign co-owners or allow collaborators to publish on behalf of the owner.
I’ve added your voice to the existing feature request so our product team can continue to see how important this is for team workflows like yours.
EricSantos I'm confused...this article seems to say a Manager can publish a course. Am I misunderstanding?
Change a Collaborator’s Role
Collaborators can have one of three roles when working on content:
- The Owner can do everything.
- A Manager can edit, share, and publish content and modify course settings, but they can't edit labels, transfer ownership, view Quick Share metrics, or delete the course. They can also remove themselves as collaborators.
- An Editor can only edit content—they can't access any of the options in Settings, Collaborate, or Publish.
Hi CydWalker_mwh,
Thanks for calling that out. You're correct that the current documentation states that Managers can publish content.
To clarify, the limitation I was referring to is that Rise 360 doesn't currently support assigning multiple owners or a co-owner role to a course. While both Owners and Managers can publish content, there isn't a way to grant the full set of owner-level permissions to additional collaborators.
I can also see how your suggestion for folder-level publishing permissions could help teams that rely on shared ownership and need continuity when a course owner is unavailable. I've shared that feedback with our product team so they can continue evaluating ways to support collaborative publishing workflows.
