 How Do I Add and Edit a User in the LMS?

In this article we will walk you through how to add and edit users within the LMS, as well as deactivating and reactivating users.

Add a New User

  • On the Admin Navigation menu, select Users.
  • Click the Add New User button.
  • Select the User Type
    • Student - This is a standard learner in the system.
    • Instructor - This is a standard learner in the system with additional privilege to edit rosters of classes or webinar sessions for which they are an instructor.
    • User Group Admin - This is an admin who manages the User Group(s) for which they are an admin.
    • Sub Admin - This admin has all the same permissions as a Main Admin, except the privilege to create another Main Admin.
    • Main Admin - This is the highest privileged administrator in the system. This user type can make changes to anything within the system.
  • The required fields for a standard user with no custom Registration Fields setup are:
    • Username
    • Email
    • Password
    • Timezone
  • If you have custom Registration Fields, the required fields have additional registration fields if this has been setup by an admin.
  • If you'd like to learn how to configure Registration Fields, click here.

Edit a User

  • On the Admin Navigation menu, select Users.
  • Use the Filter users where field at the top to locate the user if they do not show up on the first page of the list. Use the toggle, Show Inactive, to view inactive users only.
  • Once the user is located, double-click on the user to open their properties in the Edit User window.
    • You can also left-click to select the user and then select the Edit button at the top to open the Edit User window.
  • From here, you can edit the user's properties.
  • Once you are done making changes, select Save Changes at the bottom of the Edit User window.

Deactivating and Reactivating Users

To deactivate an active user, first double-click on the user to open their properties in the Edit User window, then select Set As Inactive at the bottom of the Edit User window. Conversely, To reactivate an inactive user, select Set As Active at the bottom of the Edit User window. Previous to the 10.13 release, this could be done by selecting the colored circle in the Users tab, but that functionality has been removed for the User Status Changes feature.
