7. You wish to...*

   1. Create a new City-related social media Page / account.
   2. Be an Admin or Editor to an existing City-Related social media Page / account.
9. A section or department should only request a new City-related social media Page / account if they feel that their services or audience is unique in comparison to that of the official City of Las Cruces' social media pages. It is very difficult to get a following with a new Page or account. The City's official accounts already have a large following. You will need to explain why having a seperate Page or account would be benificial.*

11. Admins and Editors must be registred with the Communications Office by filling out this form. Admins should only be granted to users that need full control of the account. Along with basic editing, Admin's have access to the account setting and manage user roles. If Admin privileges are not needed, a person can simply be added as an Editor instead. Admins are ultimately responsible for Editors and what they post. Admins must keep a log of Editors and have their Editors follow the City Manager Social Media Policy 1.12 and Social Media Procedures & User Guidelines (link above). Note: Editors only apply to Facebook and YouTube. To have multiple users for social accounts such as Instagram, Twitter or similar single login platforms, you will be required to use a social media management software like Hootsuite, Buffer or Social Pilot to manage. This is because you are not allowed to share login username/passwords. *
