## Sites tool: Overview

### What it does

Note: To use this tool, you must have administrator rights.

With the Sites tool, system administrators can create new worksites, and modify and remove existing ones. Users with "admin" rights, will see the Sites tool in the My Workspace menubar.

When creating or editing a site, the administrator can select which tools will appear in the main screen of the site's Home page. The administrator can also rename the Home page, and create additional Home pages for the site.

### Key concepts

Assigning roles: The Sites tool allows the administrator to specify which role to assign by default to people who join the site. The site owner can later change a participant's role with the Site Info tool.

Adding tools: When an administrator adds tools to a particular Home page, those tools appear in the main screen, not the menubar.

### Things to consider

- When the application is first installed, the admin is the only pre-installed account, and is able to create worksites.
- The My Workspace template site is the site with the siteID `!user`. Admins can edit this site to include or exclude whatever tools they wish to display in their users' My Workspaces. All users are assigned the broadest role in their respective My Workspaces, which gives them edit control over that section.
