Adding and Editing Individual Members

Accessing the Member Management Dashboard

To access the Member Management dashboard, go to the Admin Portal and select the Members button on the top navigation bar. If you do not see this option and believe you should, reach out to your Success Manager or contact us. 

Adding New Members from the Dashboard

(NOTE: Only Community Admins and Department Admins have permission to add members to their community.) 

To add one or more members to your community, select the Add a member button in the top right of the dashboard. You will see two options. 

• Add a member 一 Add an individual member
• Import / upload members 一 Add multiple members at once using a spreadsheet template

To add a single member, choose the Add a member option from the Add a member button dropdown menu. A new page will open where you will see text fields to add the member's first name, last name, and email address. These are all required fields. 

The other required field necessary to create a new member is User type. Select the most appropriate role for the member from the dropdown list. 

If you have selected Student as the User Type (or if that is your community default), you may also see a field for a Student ID number if that field is enabled for your community. This is always optional. If you have selected Student or Alumni as the user type, you will also see a Grad Year dropdown menu. This is also optional. (NOTE: You will only see options for User Types set for your community. If you would like to add a User Type to your community, contact your Success Manager.)

Click the Add Tag button to add custom user tags to the new member. You can assign an existing tag or add a new one. For more info about user tagging, check out this article.

You can also add optional phone numbers for a new member. These numbers must be valid phone numbers, and can be used as a login option for the member or to receive SMS Announcements if those are enabled in your community.

Select Save to create the new member.

You can also select the Save and add to Rafts button to automatically join the new member to one or more Premium Rafts in your community.
