Creating a User Profile

A user profile is a collection of information that identifies a MAP®Measures of Academic Progress® user and gives the user access to the MAP system.

User profiles require at least one role to specify the user's MAP system permissions. See User Roles and Permissions.

You can create a user profile with one or more of these roles:

• Administrator
• Assessment Coordinator
• Data Administrator
• Instructor
• Proctor
• System Administrator

To create a user profile that includes the Administrator or Instructor role (which requires additional steps), see:

• Creating an Administrator Profile
• Creating an Instructor Profile

Required Roles

To create a user profile you must be assigned one of the following roles in the MAP system:

• Assessment Coordinator
• Data Administrator
• System Administrator

Note: You can create a profile only for users with the same or lower permissions than your own.

Steps

To create a user profile:

1. In the left navigation pane, select Manage Users.

2. (Recommended) Search to make sure the profile doesn't already exist.

   For details, see Field Descriptions for Search Criteria.

3. If the search does not return an existing profile for the user, click Create User.
   

4. Enter the requested information under All Roles.

   For details on each field, see User Profile - Create/Update Profile.

5. In the User Role section, under Available Roles, select a role that you want to assign this user, then click Add. The selected role moves to the Roles to Assign list
   1. Repeat for all the roles you want to assign this user.
   2. To remove a role, select it in the Roles to Assign list, and then click Remove.
6. Click Submit.
   Important! With any change, be sure to click Submit as needed—possibly on multiple pages—to complete the action. The process is complete and the change is saved in the MAP system only when you see a message such as, "User profile has been updated successfully."

   The MAP system displays a message confirming that it created the new user profile. If you specified an e-mail address for this user, the system automatically sends a user name and temporary password to that address.

   If you did not specify an e-mail address for this user, the screen displays the user name and temporary password.

   Important! Make sure to write down the user name and temporary password before you leave the confirmation page. You will need it to notify the user directly.
