Maintainers

Sections, entry types, fields and volumes can have maintainers, so editors know who to ask for help. A maintainer is any number of users, user groups or both.

Maintainers are off by default. Admins switch them on under Hub → Settings → Maintainers.

They have no permissions of their own. Besides being shown, they make what they maintain part of their My Work.

Setting maintainers

Users with the Manage maintainers permission set them on the Overview tab of the page of a section, entry type, field or volume.

• They’re kept in the database like labels, not in the project config. So they can be changed wherever content is edited, and aren’t deployed.
• Changes are recorded in the activity log.

Where they’re shown

• In a Maintainers column of the lists of sections, entry types, fields, volumes, entries and assets.

• On the Hub page and the edit sidebar of a user, as what they maintain.

• On entries and assets, by where they’re stored:

  Item	Maintainers of
  Asset	Its volume.
  Entry	Its section and entry type.
  Nested entry	Its field and entry type, along with those of its owner.

• On the Hub pages and edit sidebar of entries and assets, along with those of the fields of their field layouts, for whoever edits them, even without access to the Hub.
