  3. When the “New User” window is open, fill in the fields indicated below. (User Name, Full Name, Email, Password, Confirm Password)
    1. Password: At least 8 characters and include at least one special character. (ex. domain** or smart***)
  4. Once these fields are filled in, click “Edit” to assign permissions to this user for specific parts of the catalog or the entire catalog. The permissions are in the form of workflow and access roles that assign a specific workflow and grant access to specific parts of the catalog.

     Select Roles Window

  6. If you are creating a new user profile for a user that will be a catalog administrator, the only role required is the "school\admin" role, and this will grant them access to everything needed. If the new user is to be an editor, reviewer or approver of catalog items, the profile will require one “workflow” role to access a workbox, and at least one “access” role to access specific parts of the catalog they will need access to. Only one workflow role is assigned, but as many access roles as needed can be assigned to the user profile. These access roles are the sections/items of the catalog they will be able to edit, review or approve.
  7. Once you have assigned the new user the appropriate roles, click “OK”. Roles will not be assigned unless this is done.
  8. The “New User” window Roles field will then be populated with the roles you have just assigned and you can click “Next”. (All roles within <carrots> are roles that have been inherited by roles that were assigned. These roles are not assigned individually)
