The User contributions module allows you to create content editing interface for site members. It means that chosen web site visitors can create, edit and delete content, even if they are not editors and cannot access Kentico CMS Desk.

 

There are several scenarios where you can use this module, for example:

 

1. Community news

 

You can create a list of news an allow community members to add news without going to CMS Desk.

 

2. Partner directory

 

Your business partners can manage their profile on your web site and the list of their reference project.

 

3. Business directory

 

You can create a business directory for some town or industry and let the business owners to manage their own profile.
