Specialized Multisite Features

If you need a scalable solution with Multisite and Multi-domain capability, then Sitefinity is a great choice for you, with many great features included. 

Content Sharing Across Sites

Sitefinity enables content sharing while maintaining site specificity through its multisite management feature. With this feature, administrators can share and reuse content between different sites. This means that content created or managed in one site can be easily shared and utilized in other sites, eliminating the need for duplicating or recreating content. 

While content sharing is facilitated, Sitefinity ensures that each site maintains its own identity and specificity. In other words, the shared content can be customized and adapted to suit the branding, design, and requirements of each individual site. This enables site administrators to have control over the appearance and presentation of the shared content on their respective sites. 

Sitefinity allows administrators to define which content types, modules, or even individual pages are eligible for sharing. This ensures that only relevant and appropriate content is shared across sites, maintaining consistency and relevance. Through a single interface and centralized web management system, administrators can manage all the sites within the multisite environment. This provides a convenient way to pivot and manage content across multiple sites, improving efficiency and reducing administrative overhead.

Site-Specific Settings

With Sitefinity Multisite Management, administrators have the ability to create unique settings for each individual site. This allows for customization and tailoring of specific features and configurations based on the requirements of each site. Here's an outline of the key aspects of creating site-specific settings in Sitefinity Multisite Management:

• Design and Templates: Administrators can assign unique themes and designs for each site. This includes customizing the layout, color scheme, typography, and other visual elements to give each website its own distinct look and feel while maintaining a cohesive brand identity.
• Content Structure: Administrators can define the content structure for each site, creating custom content types, fields, and taxonomies specific to the needs of each site.  
• Navigation and Menus: Administrators can configure site-specific navigation menus that allow for unique menu structures and hierarchies.    
• URL Routing: Administrators can define custom URL patterns for each site, making it easier to create user-friendly and search engine optimized URLs.  
• Permissions and Security: Sitefinity Multisite Management provides granular control over permissions and security settings for each individual site so that administrators can manage user roles, access levels, and permissions specific to each site.  
• Third-Party Integrations: Sitefinity Multisite Management supports integration with various third-party systems and services. Administrators can configure site-specific integrations based on the needs of each site.  

User Group Management

Sitefinity's multisite management feature provides robust capabilities for managing user access and permissions, allowing administrators to effectively control user roles and permissions across multiple sites. Here's how Sitefinity enables effective user group management:

• Administrators can create user groups based on specific roles or responsibilities within the organization. This allows for the organizing of users with similar access needs into distinct groups.
• Sitefinity employs a role-based permission system, where administrators can assign specific permissions to each user group. This ensures that users have appropriate access levels based on their roles and responsibilities.
• Administrators can also assign site-specific permissions to user groups so that different user groups can have different access and permissions on each site within the multisite environment. 
• Administrators can define which user groups have access to specific content types, modules, or even individual pages, so only authorized users can perform actions such as creating, editing, deleting, or publishing specific content items or utilizing certain modules.
• Administrators can create approval processes or content publishing workflows, ensuring that content created by specific user groups goes through a review and approval process before being published. This helps maintain quality control and ensures that content is properly reviewed.
• Sitefinity seamlessly integrates with popular authentication systems like Active Directory or LDAP.

By leveraging these features, Sitefinity enables administrators to effectively manage user access and permissions across multiple sites. The ability to create user groups, assign role-based and site-specific permissions, set content and module-level permissions, implement customizable workflows, and integrate with authentication systems ensures that user access is controlled, managed, and limited properly for each user group.
