HOW-TO: Assign a Role to a User
Any user related to your site and who isn't the site admin is required to be assigned a role to have access to parts of your site so they can maintain it. Roles are created under the Roles tab. To learn more about creating and managing roles please see Managing Roles.
- Click on the Users tab for your site
- Click on the checkbox next to the user you want to assign a role for
- Click on the dropdown titled 'Apply/Remove roles...'
- Under 'Apply Role' should be a list of the roles for your site. Select the appropriate role to apply.
- Repeat steps 3 & 4 as necessary to assign multiple roles to one user
Common Error: I don't see any roles under the 'Apply/Remove roles...' dropdown to assign
A. Most likely you just haven't created any roles yet. There are no default roles for the system other then site admin and technically that's not a role either. To learn how to create and manage roles please see Managing Roles.
Common Error: I don't see the dropdown titled 'Apply/Remove roles...' button or any checkboxes
A. You do not have permissions to apply or remove roles for the site. Please talk to your site admin if you feel you need that type of access.
