Supreme Administrator
This is the main account for your company. When you signed up we provided this to someone within
your organization so that they would have full control over the system. There can only be 1 of these
accounts and it only differs from a regular administrator account in that you will have the ability to
create new mKubed users.
Administrators
This account type can do everything on the system except create new system users.
Contributors
Contributor accounts are limited to creating new content in designated sections of the site and are not

8. FAQ
If you have any questions that are not covered in this guide please feel free to email us
at updates@snaptech.com.
IE9 issues (compatability view)
You may find that not all features have been updated to work properly in Internet Explorer 9. If you
come across something that is not working properly, try changing your browser into compatibility view
by pressing the icon in the URL bar that looks like a broken page. It will turn blue when in compatability
view.
What can I change on my website with the CMS?
Our content management system was created to make your life as easy as possible. Through a lot of
feedback and questioning we found that people do not want to change the “template” of the website
and find it intimidating when they can. So we have created the system to allow for text area
modifications.
This means that you have full control over everything that falls into the rectangular area of your site that
holds the content. As well you have the ability to create new pages and navigation items. You do not
have the ability to change the look/colour of the navigation though.
How can I open a hyperlink in new window?
Please see the hyperlinks info in the Text Editor section
How do I remove the box when I add a hyperlink to my image?
1) Click on the image to get the 8 white bounding boxes around the image
2) Click on the "Styles & Formatting" icon (top row 3rd from the left)
3) From the list select the "Box Formatting" option
4) Choose the "No Border" option in the left hand box
