Adding Users to Your Site

You may invite other people with an active Ohio State username (lastname.#) to contribute to your site. For a group or course site, you might add your colleagues or students and assign them access rights based on what they will be doing.

Here are the basic steps:

  1. Your colleagues or students first need to login at u.osu.edu to activate their account. This will also activate their own personal U.OSU site.
  2. Once your collaborator's account is active, navigate to the dashboard of the site that you would like to edit and click Users > Add New from the left-side Main Menu.
