Written By Evan Kanouse (Super Administrator)

Updated at June 25th, 2021

  1. Login to Axiom
  2. Find the individual (or individuals) for whom you wish to create accounts, either through the search bar or through a query
  3. Press the lightening bolt icon and press "Create VC User Account" 
  4. Go to the Identity and Access Management homepage and run the "Find User Accounts" query
  5. Find the individual for whom you just created an account (CTRL-F works here) and press "Security Admin" 
  6.  Go to the Security Roles tab.
  7.  Add the appropriate role(s).
    1.  For faculty members who just need access to the portal, they should have Faculty_1 and Restrict_Browsing_VC_Axiom roles. This will limit them to the portal.
    2.  Faculty_1, Faculty_2, and Faculty_3 will automatically redirect the user to the Faculty Portal upon login. All other roles will direct the user to Axiom.
  8.  On the General Tab, press "Add Record".
    1. Type = Google
    2. Username = Email address AS LISTED IN GAFE (this is case sensitive)
    3. Status = Enabled
    4. Press update
  9. Press the lightening bolt icon and press "Send VC Welcome Email"
    1. Depending on the individual's role, this will send either a welcome email to Axiom or to Portal
