Key Terms
There are some key terms you'll need to know when working within Drupal. We've explained these key words below.
Group
A group in Drupal refers to your site. A group can be an initiative, an organization, or a subsite. As a user, you can belong to one or several groups.
Node
A node is any piece of content, like a page, an update, or a blog post, that you'll create in the site. You'll use the nodes call-to-action button in Drupal to create this content.
Role
In Drupal, each user has a role associated with it. Permissions vary for each role - author, editor, publisher, and admin - with an author having the most basic set of permissions and an admin having the most advanced. For example, authors can't publish content they've created, but a publisher can. An editor can't add members to a group, but an admin can.
Landing page
Think of the landing page in Drupal as your site's home page.
Component
Components are used within the layout builder to create content, such as a call-to-action, an accordion, an image link, and many others. We introduce you to all our component types in our Components page.
