HOW-TO: Assign/Add/Register a User To Your Site
This HOW-TO assumes you have the appropriate permissions to add a user. Note: A user has to be added by Web Services to Slate's overall user registry before a user can be added to a site.
- Click on the Users tab for your site
- Click on 'Add new user' in the Users toolbar
- In the input box for the 'Add new user' ActionBox start typing the MasterID for the user you want to add to your site. As you type a list of possible users will show up. Helpful Tip: A MasterID will be the GroupWise username for WVU staff and faculty OR the MIX username for students.
- Select your user from the LiveSearch results.
- Click 'Add user'
Common Error: I don't know the GroupWise username for the user I want to register
A. You can find the GroupWise username via your GroupWise client. Create a new mail message; Enter in the user you want for the To: address; Mouse over the users name and a tool-tip box containing directory information regarding that user will pop up; find GroupWise username.
Common Error: I know the MasterID for my user but they're not showing up in the LiveSearch results
A. This means that the user is not a part of Slate's overall user registry. They need to go to http://slate.wvu.edu/ and request an account.
Common Error: I don't see the link for 'Add new user' after clicking on the Users tab
A. You do not have permissions to add new users to a site. Please talk to your site admin if you feel you need that type of access.
