bSpace How-To Library

Add Non UC Berkeley Users to a Site

bSpace generally relies on people using their CalNet ID and passphrase to log in to the system. In some cases, however, you might want or need someone outside the UC Berkeley community to have access to your site. You can create guest accounts and add new users to your site in a few easy steps.

Before you begin, make sure:

• you are logged in to bSpace with your CalNet ID or guest account (http://bspace.berkeley.edu)
• you have editing privileges in the site
• you are in the My Workspace tab

Add Participants and Assign Roles

1. Click Site Info in the left toolbar.

2. From the Site Info screen click the Add Participants link located in the top toolbar.

   

3. In the Non-UC Berkeley Participants text box, enter an email address for each people for whom you wish to add to your site.

   NOTE: Enter each email address on a separate line.

   

   ALERT: NEVER add Berkeley student, faculty, or staff member to your site using the "Non-UC Berkeley Participants" box.

4. If you want to assign new participants to different roles, choose the "Assign each participant a role individually."

   

5. Click the Continue button.

6. Choose the role for participants you are adding to your site.

   Tip: Assign the guest(s) a role in your site. Educational Technology Services recommends that you choose a read-only role (“Guest” or “Access”) in most cases. For more information see our FAQs about Course Site Roles and Project Site Roles.

7. Click the Continue button.

8. Choose whether you would like to send an email to notify users that they have been added to your site.

   

9. Click the Continue button.
