Only your organization's Lab Portal administrators and users with the Instructor + Create privilege can create a new Lab Portal user. Please contact your organization's Lab Portal Administrator or your Director of Academic Partnerships if you need an account set up or Instructor + Create privileges setup.
Create a user with the Add User option
If you have the instructor + create privilege, you can access the Add User option from the System User Manager menu on the System Homepage.
1. Select System User Manager on the System Homepage.
2. Select Add User
3. Define the new user's system role as Instructor.
Select from the following:
- Instructor + Create - for faculty members who should have permissions to create new users
- Instructor - for faculty members who should NOT have permissions to create new users
- TA - for faculty members who are not actively teaching in the course, but need gradebook permissions
DO NOT choose SI Instructor as that is for the SI internal team.
4. Define the new user's User Details:
Add in the information for the instructor.
- First Name
- Last Name
- Display Name
- Student ID - use email address
- User Login - use email address

Instructors will be able to update these fields on their first login if necessary. Leave the Require user to validate on next login check box selected if you want the new user to validate their profile the next time they log in. Click the check box to deselect this requirement.
The Display Name will autofill using the First Name and Last Name fields, but can still be edited.
