Manually Adding Users to Sakai
Adding a Consortial Community User
Step 1: Navigate to the “Site Info” tab in the left-hand side tool menu, then select the “Add Participants” tab in the central tool menu.
Step 2: Use the first box in the “Add Participants” page to add any student who is a member of the 5C’s or has a registered Claremont Colleges account in the “username@college” format.
Step 3: Select the 'role' of the participant and click continue.
Important note: “Student” is a maintained role within Claremont Colleges Sakai course sites, with site participants in this role managed by a script based on information from the Registrar’s offices that updates course site membership three times a day. This means that students who are not yet official registered for the course who are added in a “Student” role will be deactivated by the script. To prevent this, add any students to your sites in the Auditor role. They will have the exact same level of site access as a registered student. When their membership is updated by the Registrar’s Office, their role will automatically switch over to “Student.”
Step 4: Choose if you would like to send an email notification to the user and click continue.
Step 5: Confirm the participants being added and the roles selected. Click finish
If you do not know a student’s Sakai username, please contact help@pomona.edu so we can look it up for you.
To Add Community Auditor Guest Users
In your Sakai course site, go to: Site Info » Add Participants
Put the user’s full email address in the BOTTOM box on the screen. Press Continue.
On the next screen, give them an Auditor role.
Press Continue twice, then Finish.
Guest users do not use the “Login” button. They log in by using the Guest Login button on the Sakai main page. If you have Community Auditor Guest Users in your classes, it would be helpful to remind them to use the Guest Login.
