The Site Admin Role
One person from each Writing Project site should assume the Site Admin role. This person registers the Site Location and creates a Group for others to join. The Site Admin is able to remove members, publish/unpublish posts, approve comments, and add others to be admins of the Group.
To Register
Click on Register in the upper right-hand corner and read the instructions. From there...
- Click on "Sign up your site."
- Fill out the form. Your email address will be your username for logging into the website.
- Check the “I’m Over 18 Years Old” checkbox and click “Sign Up Now”.
Our support staff will review your request and approve it as soon as possible. You will receive an email once your Site has been approved.
Once you have received your confirmation email...
- Log in to the website to create a Group.
- You will need to create a Group at your Site Location to generate an access code for participants. To do this, click on the “New Group” button in the upper right. For this project, you will probably only need one Group, but you can create as many as you like.
- You can also add others to your Site Location so they can help you with admin duties. To do this, in the right column, enter the email address of anyone else (18+) you want to invite to be a Group Administrator and click “Send”.
- To invite colleagues to join a Group, you will see instructions and a code in the right column after you create a Group. You can share this code in the right column with anyone you want to register to this Group.
- Each Group has a unique code. We encourage participants to register themselves so they become familiar with logging in and are responsible for their own username and password; an email address is not required, but does help with password resets.
Create Another Group and/or Add Other Group Admins
Site Admins can invite others to create and manage Groups at the same location. Each Group has its own registration code which is generated once the group is created. To add another Group...
- Log in
- Click on "Add Group" in upper right and complete the steps.
To invite other adults to create and administrate Groups...
- Log in
- In the right column, enter their email address and click "Send"
- Note: invitations to be a Group Admin at your Site location can be resent or deleted.
How Others Register to Write
How Posts Are Published
Because this platform was originally designed to accommodate student writers, the teacher (in this case, Site Admin) must publish posts, once they are submitted by the writer, for them to become public.
