Adding Users to Groups

Before users can perform any functions within KORA, they must be a member of a user group. These groups, found in the “Manage Groups” sub-heading determine what permissions that user has within KORA.

1. Open the “Manage Project Users” page
To the left of the workspace, in the vertical navigation bar, locate the “Projects” heading and then click on the “Manage Project Users” link. A new page will open.

2. Select a User
All current members who are assigned to a group will appear in a table with their username and group assignment. In the “Username” column, there will be a drop-down menu with all the users who are currently not assigned to a group. Select the user you wish you to assign by clicking their username. Once you click their username, the drop-down box should close and their name will appear at the top of the box.

Note: If the username you are looking for doesn’t appear, verify that the user has successfully created an account within KORA. To verify if an account has been created, work with the user to see if they followed the steps in the Creating and Activating an Account tutorial.

3. Assign User to a Group
After you select a user, you can assign them to the desired group by choosing that group’s name from the drop-down box within the “Group” column. Once you click the desired group, the drop-down box should close and the group name will appear at the top of the box.

Note: A user can only be in one group at a time. To change a user’s group designation, first remove them from their current group (see Removing People from Groups) and then add them to the desired group. If you wish to create a new group for this user, please see the Creating User Groups tutorial.

4. Click “Add”
After you verify that you have the correct user in the correct group, click “Add.” The user and their new group designation will now appear in the table with the rest of the assigned users. They will immediately be able to begin performing functions within KORA.
