00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Glow Blogs Adding Users. This is one of 

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
a series of short screencasts that should 

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
you get up and running with Glow Blogs.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Before you start adding users it is important to know what

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
the different roles these users can have in your blog.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
If you need more information

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
on the roles it is on the help blog

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
and also in the longer version of this video

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000


10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
The roles I most commonly use in glow blogs would be

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Administrator and Author. That means you 

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
someone who is doing the design and looking after the site.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And someone else who can add

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
content to the site.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
You probably do want to have more than one Administrator

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
on the blog in case some happens to you,

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
or you leave the school or move on or retire

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
there will be someone there who can take over the blog

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
If you leave a blog without an administrator it means that nobody can take on

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
that job until you log a call 

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
with your LA help desk to get someone else to take over.

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
So I’ve now

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
going to add some other users to my blog.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
I’ve logged onto to glow and gone 

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
through the tile and found my blog. I know I am logged in 

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
because I can see the admin bar art the top 

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
with the name of the blog customise and other things

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
If I had not logged into glow and had gone straight to the blog

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I could click on Site Admin and that would 

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
take me through the login to log in.

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I am going into the Dashboard now

32
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
On the left hand side

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
there is a list of the different screen you see in the dashboard

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
where you can control your blog

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I am going to the user screen. When I hover over that it says

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
All Users, Your profile and Add users. I want Add users.

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
to add some people to the blog. I click Add Users

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
In there I can start filtering 

39
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
for my local authority, then my school

40
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
and then it is going 

41
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
list the curricular groups. my school is very small so there are not 

42
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
many curricular groups. Down below that and below the year groups

43
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
is a Teachers 

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
I probably wanto get at least one of the other 

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
teachers as an Administrator.

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
in case I need someone else to access the blog

47
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
or if I leave the school.

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I choose the role Adminstrator

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
and click Add Selected users

50
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000


51
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
That says ! user added to a blog

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
If I now look at all users I can see that this person

53
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
has been added as an Admin. Because this person has been added as an Admin

54
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
has logged onto glow before, you can see their name 

55
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
and email address is filled in. If they had not logged on

56
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
to blog before you would not see that information until they did.

57
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
If g oback to the add users screen. I can filter again

58
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000


59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000


60
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000


61
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
again choose teaching staff. I am going to add some other

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
teachers as 

63
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Authors to the blog

64
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I click Add selected users

65
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,000
It tells me 3 users are added to the blog.

66
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
It tells me 3 users are added to the blog.

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
There is another way to add users. 

68
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
YYoucan add users if you can’t find them you can go in and add

69
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
by using their User Name.

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
It is important that you

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
put the username, not their email address

72
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
so gw

73
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
09johnston

74
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
like that. you can put @glow but do not put

75
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
the whole email address. i usually leave it as the user name

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
If I want to add more I could put another one on 

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
an other line 

78
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
set the role and Add users

79
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I’ve added a few different users with different roles.

80
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:12,000
These people should be able to access 

81
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
These people should be able to access 

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
and carry out the duties

83
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
of either Admin or Author.

84
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
