I need to give more assessors access to a group.
ELE Digital Education can in theory do this using a spreadsheet, but in practice we find that other assessors have not never logged into MyPortfolio before, so the spreadsheet cannot find their accounts to associate with groups.
For this reason we ask the group Administrators remaining after the deadline to liaise with other assessors and give them access to the group as follows:
- Ensure other assessors have logged into MyPortfolio at least once, even if very briefly. That way their accounts are created and can be added.
- From the group's front page, somebody with a group Administrator role selects the link to Members (e.g. on the group's menu bar); the Members page displays.
- If the group was set up as Controlled (and if not, skip down a few points to 'If the group wasn't set up to be Controlled) then the Administrator has the option to Add Many Users At Once (see screenshot) - click this link; the Add Members page displays.
- Use the Search box to identify members (n.b. as above they need to have logged into MyPortfolio at least once before.
- Click their names and add them from the Potential Members column to the Users To Be Added column.
- When you are ready, click Submit.
- If the group was wasn't set up not to be as Controlled, then the Administrator will not be able to add members in this way, and instead needs to invite the assessors either via Send Multiple Invitations (see screenshot), in the same way as outlined above, but without the immediate results (the assessor will need to accept the invitation to join the group.
