Adding a new user can only be done by users who have the appropriate security privileges. The process for adding different types of user (i.e. mentors, mentees) is the same. Once a user has been created, the user type can be switched from mentor to mentee or vice versa.

 

To add a new user:

 

1.Click on the Mentors or Mentees menu on the left side of the screen, depending on which type of user you want to create.

 

2.Click on the Add Mentor or Add Mentee button:
 
adduser
 

 

3.Fill in the details of the user.
 
When you create a new mentor, the following fields are mandatory:
Email
Start Date
User name
Password (this must be at least eight characters in length, and contain at least one upper case character and one number)

 

When you create a new mentee, the following fields are mandatory:

Firstname
Start Date

 

4.Click Next to move on to the next screen and then Finish to complete the new user setup.
 
5.Additional information can be added at a later date, and security privileges can be defined as described in the "Managing Security" chapter.
