Fundamental pre-required in a CMS, the distributed maintenance allows attributing to the Back Office users limits of access to pages, to contents and to Typo3 modules.
Thanks to this mechanism it is possible to distribute the site’s maintenance load between various actors, each one being authorized to modify a personal part of the site.
The contributor sees only the part of the site he is concerned with and can, eventually, add a certain type of content.
However the capacitation/right of access and modification mechanisms proposed by typo3 can’t be resumed to that.
Indeed, a user can have access to a page without being at all able to modify its content.
A group management is then possible, a Back Office user being able to be connected with one or several groups of users. The rights of visualization, page publishing, page content publishing or erasing are then positioned for a precise group on a page or a precise arborescence page.

It is possible to personalize in a very precise way the administration interface, according to the contributor or to the group to which he belongs. The accessible menus, the contents and the fields inside these contents can be limited. Likely, modules or features of Back Office and WYSIWYG (RTE) publisher can be activated, deactivated or modified.
Finally Typo3 also allows limiting the access to a precise arborescence of files.
