Changes

An administrator can add or edit two types of users; other administrators or students. The type of user being added or edited is determined by which radio button is selected. This radio button also determines which user table is displayed to the right. Each user is identified by a user ID, this user ID is automatically assigned by using the prefix of the user's email address. A valid email address must be entered, the prefix can only contain letters (a-z,A-Z), number (0-9), and special chacters characters of (- _ or .), they must also be longer than one character. Administration email addresses are automatically assigned the the domain of "''senecac.on.ca''", and student email addresses are automatically assigned the domain of "''learn.senecac.on.ca''". Once all of the corresponding fields have been entered and validated, the user is emailed an auto-generated password, this password should be changed as soon as possible using the ''Change Password'' function (see [[#Change_Password_Function|''Section 3.1.2 Change Password Function'']]). A description of how to add or edit each type of user is listed below.

To add a student, make sure the "''Student''" radio button is selected. You must enter a first and last name of the student, ; each may only be a maximum of fifty characters. An email address prefix must also be entered, ; the email prefix may only be twenty characters long. Each student must also be associated with a project. To do this, select a project name from the ''Project Name'' drop down list (the project ID is associated within this drop down list). Once all of the required fields have been entered, click the "''Add Student''" button, and the new student will be shown in the table to the right. If there are any validation errors, they will be shown below each of the fields. <br/> A group of students may be entered at one time by uploading a Comma Separated Value (CSV) File in the file upload section (see ''Figure 3.4''). <br/>The format of the file should be as follows: '''Last_Name, First_Name, Student_ID, Project_ID''', making sure that each field is separated by a comma. <br/>An example of a record in this file would look like the following:<br/>'''Doe, John, JDoe, bts630_071g01'''<br/>For reference, see ''Figure 3.4''<br/>
