Global Content usually requires you to be an admin. However, you may not want to grant everyone in your content team admin capabilities. And you don’t need to! Once you’ve set-up Global Content, you can benefit from its features without being and admin.
Tasks for which you need to be an admin:
- Connecting different sites or installations with each other
- Importing Global Content on a site
Tasks that do not require admin capabilities:
- Making content global
- Publishing new posts within a global post type
Let us give you an example: If you (=the admin) make a post type including its posts global and import it on another site, anyone (=non-admins) can publish new posts that will then automatically be synchronized on all connected sites.
