Active CMS is the online content manage system Capilano uses to create, manage and deliver the main Capilano website and Frontlines, the University intranet. Active CMS is a permissions-based framework that grants the ability to edit specific areas of the website with an editing interface requiring only a browser. This means that you don't need to download or install any software. If you have an account and access to a computer, you have access to Active CMS.
