User Profile - Create/Update Profile

You can add basic user information to a new user profile from this page. You can also update basic information in an existing user profile.

A user profile is a collection of information that identifies a MAP user and defines the user's access to the MAP system. You must assign one or more roles to each user to specify the user's MAP system permissions.

You must perform extra steps for user profiles with the administrator or instructor role, as follows:

• For users with the administrator role, you must additionally assign school information to specify the MAP reports they can access.
• For users with the instructor role, you must assign term information—and optionally, school and class information—to specify the MAP reports they can access.

Submit: Click to create or update the profile with the specified user information, and if this is a new profile, to generate a temporary user password.
