Any existing CES Administrator can create a new CES Administrator. This process involves two steps: first, adding the new user as a Node Administrator, and second, promoting them to a CES Administrator.
Manually Creating a New Node Administrator
- Navigate to Account > Manage Administrators.
- Click +Add New Administrator at the top of the page.
- Fill in the user’s information:
- Username – If the user already has another role in CES (an Instructor role, for example), their Administrator username should match so that the user can switch between roles.
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email Address
- Select any role under Select Roles. The selected role does not matter, as the user will be promoted to CES Administrator, overriding this selection.
- Select any level under Select Levels. The selected level does not matter, as the user will be promoted to CES Administrator, overriding this selection.
- Click Save to create the Node Administrator.
Promoting a Node Administrator to a CES Administrator
Once the use has been created as a Node Administrator, they can now be promoted to CES Administrator. To do so, follow the steps below:
- Locate the user on the Manage Administrators page.
- Click the pencil icon to edit the Administrator.
- Click Promote to CES Administrator Role at the top of the page.
- Confirm your selection.
Once these steps are completed, you can provide the new CES Administrator the URL of your CES account and the username you used to create them. They can then use the "Forgot your password?" link on the sign in page to set their own password. The password reset/creation email will be sent to the email you used when creating the user.
