Add New Users to RPT
Unit Administrators can create accounts for new users and assign them permissions. This article explains how to add new users to Review, Promotion & Tenure (RPT) from the User & Group Management page.
Add a User
Navigate to the Users & Groups page and click the Add User button on the right-hand side to open the Add User window.
Only institutions with UID turned on will see the User Type and User ID fields.
- Select Internal from the dropdown when adding adding faculty, staff, or other personnel who already work at or attend the institution.
- Select External from the dropdown when adding faculty, staff, or other personnel who are not part of the institution. For example, a job applicant before they are hired or an evaluator from another institution.
If the User Type is Internal, the User ID is required; if External, the User ID field is disabled.
If your institution uses SSO, uncheck the box that enforces the user to log in via SSO. This should only be done if the user is external and will not be logging in via SSO.
If the option to send a welcome message is not selected, the user will not be notified of the new account. If the option is selected, but no text is entered, a generic welcome email with an access link will be sent, inviting the user to activate their account. The invitation email can be resent anytime from the Edit User window.
