A perk of being a Site Owner is having the ability to create Content Editors for your managed site.Ìý Site Owners are also responsible for training and supporting their Content Editors.'
Ìý
To create a Content Editor account, log in to your SiteÂ鶹ÊÓƵry site, then:
- Click the ‘People’ tab in the admin navigation bar
Ìý - Select ‘Add User’ from the dropdown menu
Ìý
Fill out the form on the ‘Add User’ screen
- Email Address - SiteÂ鶹ÊÓƵry only accepts @gmu.edu Â鶹ÊÓƵ email addresses
Ìý - Check the box that says 'Allow User to Login via CAS'
Ìý - CAS Username - Enter the user's Â鶹ÊÓƵ username/NetID. This will be the first part of their email address (NOT the entire email address).
QUALITY ASSURANCE MOMENT
Double check the accuracy and spelling of the CAS username and the email address!
These two fields are what allow the user to login with their Â鶹ÊÓƵ credentials, and must be accurate.
Ìý
- Username: Enter the user's first and last name. (eg: Jessica Â鶹ÊÓƵ)
Ìý - Password: This is a temporary password used only by the system to create the account.
Ìý
HOT TIP
This password will not actually be the one used, and so does not need to be memorable! Please open a text program, then type or generate a long (30+ character) string of random letters, numbers, and special characters.ÌýÌý
Do not reuse passwords for more than one user. Always create a new one.
Ìý
- Status: Select 'active.'
Ìý - Roles: Select only one role, 'Content Editor.'Ìý Other roles are being transitioned out of SiteÂ鶹ÊÓƵry.
Ìý - DO NOT CHECK the 'Notify user of new account' Box
All other form options (contact settings, locale settings, and URL alias) are used by SiteÂ鶹ÊÓƵry Platform Managers. Please ignore these options.
Submit the form, and the new user will be created.
