Adding Users, Subscribers and Members

This topic provides the steps to add users, subscribers, and members.

After creating an organization, you need to add users, subscribers, and memberships to the organization. NexPort Campus users are as follows:

Role	Description
Administrator	This includes LMS administrators, curriculum developers, content specialists, and other roles that support your administrative efforts. Each organization can define its own administrator roles and permissions.
Instructor	Any user that has been assigned to instruct a section. Instructors give grades, collaborate with students and manage assignments.
Student	Any user who is enrolled in a section or training plan is considered a student. Administrators and instructors can also be students.

Students have access to your organization content through user accounts, subscriptions, and memberships.

• User Accounts: Manage the login credentials and profile information for users. Every student, administrator, or instructor must have a user account in order to login to the NexPort Campus.

• Subscriptions: Define a user’s access to your organization and sub organizations. After a user account has a subscription to an organization, the student can login to that organization. User can have subscriptions in many organizations.

• Memberships: Control a user’s access to content within your organization. Organization content, such as catalogs and bookshelves, are shared to groups. Members of those groups gain access to the content that is shared.

Users are assigned role based access control to the NexPort and its resources. After you have set up your organization, it’s time to add users.

How to add a subscriber?

After you have added a user, you must add a subscription. A subscription in the NexPort Campus grants a user account access to your organization or a sub-organization. Subscriptions can have an expiration date and can be given special statuses for use in reporting. Each organization may also define custom profile fields that extend the information tracked with a subscription. This data becomes a part of the user profile.

Step 1: Click Administration > Manage Campus > Organization Tools > Subscription.

Step 2: On the Add Subscribers tab, click the icon in line with the user.

Step 3: In the Subscribe <user name> dialog box, type the billing code and the validity period of the subscription, among other details, and then click OK.

Step 4: The subscriber is added in the NexPort Campus.

How to assign a membership?

After you have added a user, you could associate the user with an organization or group. A user could be granted membership in multiple organizations or groups. The NexPort Campus treats the organization as if it is a super group. This means that subscribers can be made members of the organization super group but doing this is discouraged. Assets and learning resources that are shared with the organization or group can thus be accessed by all its members.

Step 1: Click Administration > Manage Campus > Group Tools > Memberships.

Step 2: In the organization tree, select the organization or group to which you need to add a member, and then click the icon in line with the user.

Step 3: The user is added as a member of the selected group.
