Most E-Persons in a TDL-hosted repository are automatically created when a user affiliated with the home institution logs in via Shibboleth using their campus credentials.
However, Repository Administrators may need to create E-Person accounts and grant privileges to users not affiliated with the university.
Please note:
|
To do this, you will need the e-mail address of the user you wish to add.
Login as a Repository Administrator.
In the menus to the right, under Administrative – Access Control, click People.
Click Click Here to Add a new E-Person.
Fill out all of the fields, check the box under Can Log In, and click Create E-Person.
After you have created the E-Person, again click on People (under Administrative – Access Control).
In the Search for E-People box, type the email address that you used to make the E-person and click Go.
Click on the name.
Click the Reset Password button.
DSpace will then generate an email that goes to the new user asking them to reset their password. At that point they can log in.
Once the user account is created, you can assign privileges to it as you would any E-Person.
