Add New Users and Assign Roles in Faculty Search
Potential search committee members must be added as Interfolio users in order to review applications and perform committee work in Faculty Search (FS). Committee Managers and Administrators can add or manage users within their unit (or any sub-units) from the Users, Units & Titles page. If a user belongs to a different unit, they can only be edited for evaluator roles.
Note that adding a user to FS will only give them access to FS. They will not have access to Dossier. If that user also needs access to Dossier (for example, in order to apply to any internal positions), they should reach out to support and we can add it to their account.
UIDs are case sensitive.
Add New Users
- Navigate to the Users & Groups page and click the Add User button at the top of the ‘Users’ tab.
- Enter the user's information on the Add User window that appears.
Institutions with UID enabled will need to select the user type of ‘Internal’ or ‘External.’ If Internal is selected, they are required to enter the UID.
- Click Save & Send when ready to send the message.
Note that this invitation email can be resent at any time.
- The window will refresh and you will be able to Add Roles by clicking the button at the bottom of the window to assign the user to roles within each unit they are assigned to.
Both Administrators and Committee Managers can add users in FS, but only Administrators can manage user roles and permissions. When a Committee Manager adds a new user, they can include that user in the position’s committee and assign committee‑specific responsibilities, but they cannot set or change the user’s overall FS role. Administrators, however, can assign or modify roles such as Administrator, Committee Manager, or Evaluator within the units they administer.
- Select the Unit and Role and click Save when finished.
- Users will appear on the User List immediately after clicking save.
