Administrators on an Aurora website can add/remove webmasters and assign the people different roles. 

To do this, you will need the NetID or the UConn email address of the person you are adding.

(See all Aurora WordPress Training.)

To add a user, log into the site via the "Webmaster Login" link in the footer. Then go to Users > Add New.

Fill in the Form

  • NetID: Enter the User's NetID or UConn email address.

    • Affiliate Accounts are available for people outside of UConn who need temporary access to University resources.

  • Role: Specify the User's Role as one of the following.

    • Subscriber: Can only edit their profile details — cannot add photos or access the media library.

    • Profile User: Can edit their profile details, upload their own photo, and access the media library.

    • Contributor Without Media: Can edit their profile details and profile pages but cannot access the media library (upload own photos or CVs).

    • Contributor: Can edit their profile details, create a profile page, and access the media library (upload photos or CVs), but will need Author, Editor, or Administrator to publish the profile page.

    • Author: Can edit their profile details, create and publish profile page, and access the medial library (upload photos or CVs).

    • Editor: Has access to the content and media but cannot update the appearance or add users.

    • Administrator: Has full access to the site, can change appearance, and can add users.

  • Confirmation Email: Uncheck this box to stop the system from sending a confirmation email.
