To add a new user account to your Program, go to the Admin section, then click the Add User link on the submenu. The Add User page looks like this:
Fill in the appropriate information in each field and click the Add button. All fields must be completed.
Program: NBCCEDP.org fills in the name of your Program by default.
Username: The unique name with which the user will log in to NBCCEDP.org.
Usernames may contain letters, numbers, and underscores, but cannot contain spaces or other special characters.
If you choose a name which is already in use by any NBCCEDP Program, you will be asked to choose a different one. Try adding a number or the name of your Program.
It is common to choose usernames that reflect the real names of the people who own the accounts. For example, John Doe might get a username like john_doe or doej. Alternatively, you might create an account for a certain position in your program, regardless of who occupies it. In this case, name the account to reflect the position title.
First Name and Last Name: The actual first and last name of the person for whom the user account is being created.
Email and Verify Email: An e-mail address at which this user can be contacted. You must type the same address in both fields, to help reduce the possibility of errors. This must be a valid, working e-mail address (see below).
Status: Choose the radio button next to the status you want to assign to the new account. Most new users should have a status of Active. Accounts whose status is "Inactive" cannot log in to NBCCEDP.org.
The information provided at this stage becomes part of the user's profile, and may later be edited by the user or the Program Administrator.
When the new account is created, NBCCEDP.org sends an automatic notification e-mail to the address specified. This e-mail will contain a computer-generated password for the new account. In the interest of security, this password should be changed as soon as possible.
New users default to having only the Public View/Download permission in the Files section. The Administrator should make sure to give the user additional permissions as necessary.
