Publisher Workflows

Publishers are a separate user role from admins. They have a smaller set of dashboard routes focused on their own RSS feed.

Admin: Managing Publishers

Admins handle publisher accounts from /publishers.

Route	Purpose
/publishers	List all publishers — approve, disable, or delete
/publishers/create	Create a new publisher account with name, email, and password
/publishers/:id	View publisher details and take actions
/publishers/reports	Monthly article report showing how many articles each publisher contributed

Approve a Publisher

1. Go to /publishers.
2. Find the publisher and open their detail page.
3. Click Approve. This calls PUT /api/v1/publisher/:id/approve.
4. The publisher’s RSS feed will now be included in the hourly poll.

Note

A publisher account can be created and have a feed configured before admin approval. The feed will not be polled until the publisher is approved.

Publisher: Setting Up a Feed

Publishers see only two routes: /publisher/dashboard and /publisher/feed.

1. Log in as a publisher.
2. Go to /publisher/feed.
3. Paste the RSS feed URL into the feed URL field.
4. Select default tags — these tags are applied to all articles imported from this feed.
5. Click Test Feed — shows a preview of the first few articles that would be imported. Calls POST /api/v1/publisher/me/test-feed.
6. Click Save — calls PUT /api/v1/publisher/me/feed. The feed is saved and will be polled hourly once approved.
