Let us stand up together for the administrators and content creators. They are the ones who are going to spend more time on the site than anyone else after we are gone. These are the people who will stand up for us, and stand up for Drupal in the future. We must do everything in our power to make them as successful as possible.

When we develop sites in Drupal, we model the content architecture. We develop the site functionality. We weigh the balance between design and performance, mobile versus desktop, user and business goals. But oft-forgotten are those who are going to spend more time on the site than anyone else after we are gone, the site administrators and content creators.

This presentation will encompass the planning and implementation of roles, permissions, and workflows for administrative users. We will cover installing, and uninstalling modules; and organization/simplification techniques that will make the user interface streamlined, and help content creators be as productive as possible.

We will also cover ways to write training instructions that can be included in the admin interface, or kept externally on a company handbook or shared drive.
