Users with specific permissions can create a user through the ADAM user interface (UI) when necessary due to a unique scenario. Most users are created through a data sync and do not require this process.

Only some users have the ability to sign in to ADAM...

For example, students are often created as users in ADAM without the ability to sign in, while District and School Coordinator roles are created with the ability to sign in.

Step-by-Step

  1. Select Rostering, then select Users.
  2. You can...

    1. Search for/filter users. Users are restricted by the organization they belong to. If you are a School Administrator, you will only be able to search for users in the same school as you. 
    2. Select the Edit icon for a user to make changes. 
    3. Select Create New to add a new user. You can only create users in your organization and child organizations, depending on your role authority.

  3. Complete or update the Information page.
