The Authors Module and the Keywords Module are tools available to all SIMS licensees, but can only be accessed by Super Users.

These modules allow Super Users view, edit, or delete Authors and Keywords, without needing to edit on a per-article basis (although users will need to edit an article directly to create new Authors and Keywords).

The SIMS AUthors and Keywords Module

To view the Author & Keywords modules, expand the Modules Tab in the Admin Menu by selecting it, and then select either Authors or Keywords. If you cannot view these Modules, please contact our Support Team for more information on activating this feature.
