UIC Board Manager's Guide: WebBoard Version 3.5 This document is also available in print-ready format.
6. Managing Users As course instructor, you are responsible for managing the users of your board. This responsibility involves adding new users (discussed before), deleting old users (not!), and helping them with access problems (by changing passwords). All these can be accomplished with the Manage Users option in the Manager Menu . The window displayed is the same as the one displayed to search for users. To the left of each name, you as board manager get the option of editing the user's profile. Deleting a user is disabled at UIC, as users might be on several boards simultaneously, and you would delete them from all boards at once! To have a user removed from your board, email webboard@uic.edu. Note that messages from deleted users are not deleted, but their author's name is listed as Deleted User.
To choose a particular user, click on the first letter of the user's last name in the alphabet shown (this is a change from the previous version, where the users were searched for by first name). This will display all the users whose last names start with that letter. You can also search for a user by his first name or list all users by clicking on the Search button. If you wish to change a user's profile , e.g. to change his password, click on the Edit choice to the left of the Name. The user profile screen will be displayed for you to make the changes. Once done, click the Save button at the bottom of the window. |
