Managing people on your LAS Drupal site
A quick guide to updating your directory on LAS Framework sites.
Adding new people to the directory
When adding new people to your site, all you need are three items: their netid, their role in the department, and the source for their data. The steps below will help you import new people to your site.
- Login to your site. You will need to be in the Directory Editor role to manage your site's directory.
- Hover over the people icon in the admin toolbar and click on "Import directory users"
- Choose the primary role for the individuals your adding to your directory (Faculty, Grad Student, etc). Additional roles can be added later.
- Choose the directory source for this person.
- Illinois Experts - this will be for tenure system faculty or anyone who has a public profile on Illinois Experts.
- Campus Directory - this option can be used for all other full-time employees not in Illinois Experts.
- None - this will be used for all students, whose information can not be pulled from central sources.
- Enter netids - list one netid or @illinois.edu email address per line
- Click the Import button
