Distributing Log-in Information

As a best practice, take advantage of the feature that automatically emails staff their log-in information. The requirements for this feature are:

  • The sender address, MAP-AutoResponder@nwea.org, must be permitted in your email system. Add the following to email spam filter (both server and clients):

    *@nwea.org
  • A valid email address must be included in the Email Address of each user profile. Coordinate with the Data Administrator.

An email message is also triggered for a password reset or for changes to the User Name.

Note: As an alternative to the automatic email, it's possible to copy the temporary password that appears on screen when creating a single user (Manage Users feature). The temporary password appears only once. If you do not copy it, you will need to reset the password.

Linking to CAP

Try these suggestions to make it easy for staff to open their site (teach.mapnwea.org):

  • Push a shortcut to the computer desktops.
  • Place a shortcut in a network folder where users can access it, and ask them to copy the shortcut to the desktop (one time per computer).
  • Add a favorite or bookmark when you configure the browsers.

Notifying Users of Their Roles

Users are not notified of their roles in the system automatically. Make sure you notify:

  • Newly created users of their assigned roles
  • Existing users when you add roles to, or remove roles from, their profiles

If you create several users at one time, you can e-mail each group of users assigned the same role in the system to inform them of their assigned roles.

Tip: Use the User Roles operational report to identify users by role. (An Assessment Coordinator or Data Administrator has access to the report.)
