Reason Documentation

Note: In order to create a minisite, you need to:

1. have access to the Master Admin minisite, and
2. be a user with the Admin role.

If you have access to the Master Admin, you can give yourself the Admin role — see the section "How to add a user."

Creating a new site

1. Go to the Sites admin area.
   1. Go to Master Admin.

   • Make additional types available to this minisite via "Select available type(s)" (The default types Reason assigns to new sites are page, image, and text blurb.)
   • Give additional users access to this site via "Users." (By default, Reason gives editing access to the creator and the primary maintainer of the site)
   • Choose a parent site.
   • Set up types which the site can borrow, but cannot create or edit via "Choose types this site cannot edit"
   • Create admin links.
   • Assign announcement blurbs to this site.
