Viewing a list of users

- After signing in, go to People on the Administration ribbon
- Here you can see a list of who currently has a role on your site
Adding a new user
- To add a new user, select the Add User button in the top right-hand corner
- You'll need to enter information about your new user
- First their email address. Next, the SSO ID. This is in the format of the SSO username@ox.ac.uk
- Next, toggle on Notify user of new account
- This means the new user will be emailed a link specifying they can sign in using their Oxford SSO credentials
- Select the appropriate role (see User role permissions)
- Only one role can be selected and higher roles inherit all the permissions of lower roles
- Finally, select Create New Account
