It can be a bit tricky to understand some of the ways that user accounts work in Glow Blogs.
Glow Blogs are actually 33 different applications. One for each Local Authority and one central one. You can have an account on one or more instances.
Glow does not pre-provision accounts on blogs. Your account is created the first time you log onto blogs. This will happen when you click a blog tile for a Local Authority or the central instance.
Launch pads are set up with two tiles activated, one for your local authority and one for the central instance. You cannot log onto other Local Authority instances of Glow blogs unless the RM Launch pad admin for your school activates the tile.
We generally recommend that you create a blog on your L.A. instance. If you are making a blog that you want users from another L.A. to be members of, it is best to make it on the Central instance.
If you move Local Authority your account does not move with you.
If you want access to a site on your previous L.A. you need to:
- Before you leave, add another admin to your site.
- After you join your new L.A., send your username to that admin and they will add it to the site.
- Get the Glow Blogs tile for your previous L.A. activated for your new establishment. The tiles do not need to be added to the launchpad; you can add them yourself.
