Adding and Removing Users

Did you know you can collaborate on your site with anyone within the University of Missouri System? To add someone to your site, they will need to have logged into S&T Sites at least once. After that, you can find them by their @umsystem.edu email under your Users > Add New menu!

Note: You need the person’s real @umsystem.edu email, not an alias! If an email looks suspiciously readable, like john.doe@mst.edu instead of jy3xfv@mst.edu, it might be an alias. Search for the person in Outlook and click their name to see their true @umsystem.edu email address.

If the person you’re adding has already created their own site, then they should already be available to add; however, they do not need to create their own site. To be addable to any site, they need only log in and log back out once at https://sites.mst.edu.

When you’re adding someone, you can assign them a permission level like Contributor, Editor, or Administrator. This will affect how much of your site they can change. You can read more about the permission levels in WordPress’s Roles and Capabilities documentation. Generally if you want them to be able to change the look of your site, you’d select Administrator; if not, you’d select Editor.
