Managing Users

There are many functions available to manage users in the LMS.  The descriptions below will help you understand which area of the LMS you need to visit based on the task(s) you need to perform.

Add New People Wizard

The Add New People Wizard allows an administrator to manually add one or more users to the LMS.  The wizard can also be used to update existing user records.  Please remember, the wizard should only be used for learners that are not part of an automated data feed.  If changes are made to a learner's profile through the wizard, but that learner is also part of a data feed, the data feed will always overwrite the changes made through the wizard. 

There are two ways to locate the Add New People Wizard.  The first option is to navigate to Wizards > Add New Person from the Navigation Bar on the left side of the Administrator's Console.

You can also access the wizard by going to People > Maintain People and Security, then clicking Add in the top toolbar.

Using People and Security

The People & Security function contains nearly all the tools needed to manage both learning users and administrative users.

With People & Security, you as an administrator can:

To get started, locate the Navigation Bar from the Administrator's Console.  Then, go to People > Maintain People and Security.

Using Teams

Teams can be used to define various roles that may apply to a group of users.  Teams are visible on the Owners sub-tab of the Details tab on a learning resource.  Teams can also be used in conjunction with the scheduled reporting feature.

To utilize teams, go to Tools > Maintain Teams in the Navigation Bar of the Administrator's Console.  Here, you can create new teams, add members to a team, and remove members from a team.

View Current User List

The View Current User List allows you to see which users are currently logged into the LMS system.  From the Administrator's Console, expand the Navigation Bar and select System > View Current User List.
