Roles required
Managing users can be done by users with either the Administrator or User Administrator role.
All users can use Single Sign On with their NetID via the Central Authentication System (CAS), so there is no need to have unique usernames and passwords.
How to Add a User
- Log in to your site using the /cas log in procedure.
- In the top menu, click on People
- Click the blue button labeled + Add User(s) with NetID
-
Type the person's NetID in the CAS username(s) field. You can add as many as you'd like, one NetID per line.
Note: Do not enter full email addresses, only the NetID. - Select the desired Role(s). See role descriptions below.
- Save.
-
Let your new site editor know how to login to your site by providing them with the admin login for your site which will follow the pattern:
https://[yoursite].arizona.edu/cas
How to Delete a User
It is a good security practice to change a user's access to your site when that user no longer requires it to do their job.
- Click on People
- Type the person's NetID in the Name or email contains field and press the Filter button.
- Click the Edit button that appears to the far right of the user name in the resulting table.
- Find the Status radio field and change it from Active to Blocked.
- Find the Roles checkbox field and uncheck any roles the user has and no longer needs.
- Save.
