Authorized Entrants

One of the new features of the contest system is the ability to set up additional members of your staff with their own log-ins and passwords. These are called Authorized Entrants. The main account for each newspaper is called the Contestant Manager. That account has total control of the newspaper's entries.

Authorized Entrants are set up through the Contestant Manager. These folks are able to upload entries and manage those entries. However, an Authorized Entrant cannot manage or see the entries posted by anyone on the staff who posted under a different account.

Consequently, don't panic if your are an Authorized Entrant and you try to go to the Manage Entries and there's nothing there from other staff members. Only the Contestant Manager account can view it all.
