# URZ: TYPO3 & Webseiten

This source documents the policies and technical infrastructure for the web presence of the Universität Greifswald, managed by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ).

## Key Policies & Provisions
The university follows a strict set of guidelines based on a rectorate decision from April 27, 2016:

- **Internal Hosting**: All university-responsible websites must be hosted on university-owned IT systems; external providers are prohibited.
- **Centralization**: All official university pages, down to the chair level (Lehrstuhlebene), must be integrated into the central web presence using [[typo3-backend]].
- **Microsite Regulation**: Separate microsites (project or specialized websites) are only permitted under strict conditions and require approval from the URZ, the Press Office (Pressestelle), and the Data Protection Office (Datenschutzbüro).

## Technical Infrastructure
- **Central CMS**: [[typo3-backend]] is the primary system for the central web presence.
- **Alternative Webserver**: Provided for smaller project sites or microsites, allowing the use of other CMSs such as **WordPress**.

## Microsite Requirements
To be approved, a microsite must meet the following criteria:
1. **Justification**: Compelling reasons why the content cannot be integrated into the central TYPO3 presence.
2. **CMS Requirement**: A Content Management System must be used; self-programmed content/code is forbidden due to security risks.
3. **Approval Workflow**: Initial content approval by the Press Office, followed by final legal/privacy clearance by the Data Protection Office.
4. **Maintenance**: For microsites on the alternative server, the site operator (not the URZ) is responsible for updating the program code in a timely manner.

## Support
Technical support for web services is provided via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
