Overview
Additional users can be added to a blog. You may want to add a user if your blog is private and only visible to registered subscribers, but you would also like to have others contribute content. Users can also be added through batch creation.
Adding additional users to your blog or site is great for collaboration purposes.
Information
Add Existing Users
As an administrator of your blog, you can add other registered users (users who have already logged into UO Blogs with their Duck ID and password). For instructions on how to add existing users to your blog, see Add Existing Users.
Add New Users
If you want to add a user to your blog who hasn't registered with UO Blogs yet, please have them go to UO Blogs and log in with their Duck ID and password. After they've been registered, follow the instructions under Add Existing Users above.
If you've followed the above steps and are still having difficulty adding users to your blog, please contact the Technology Service Desk through this form with a list of the username(s) or email address(s) of the user(s) you wish to add, as well as what role you'd like the user(s) to have.
Note: This request must come from the administrator of the blog. If you have more than a few users that need to be added, you must use the Batch User Creation form.
Batch User Creation
Batch creation is a process that quickly creates blogs or adds users to an existing blog in batches of tens, hundreds, or thousands. For example, this tool is very helpful for faculty who want to quickly add students to their class blog or site.
For more information, see UO Blogs: Batch User Creation.
