To update a workgroup, you must be a member of that workgroup. If you are a member of the webmaster workgroup, then you can use Permission Overrides to give yourself temporary permission to update the workgroup in question. You can also use Permission Overrides to grant yourself membership (including admin access) to any group.

Workgroups have several different types of authoring

• When a group is first created, it has Overview authoring. To edit the workgroup text, you must be a an administrator of that group. You can then go to the admin -> Group Profile page and update the html text.
• Groups can also have CVS authoring enabled via the admin -> Configure Group choice. You can tell if a group has CVS authoring because it will a CVS Update link at the bottom. To update a CVS page, follow the instructions on the How do I edit pages in a group with the "CVS Authoring" option?
• Some pages can also pull over their content from a remote site. This option is not often used. See My remote subsite doesn't work! Why?
