How do I add participants to my site?

In course sites for official courses, student enrollment is handled automatically through Sakai's integration with DukeHub. However, site owners can add other participants such as TAs, Designers, etc., to their site using Kits.  Kits allows you to add participants to your course or project site who are not in an official course roster. This includes people with a Duke NetID and visitors.

Go to Site Info.

Select the Site Info tool from the Tool Menu of your site.

Click Add Participants.

Click Add Participants from Site Info tabs.

Add participants to a course site with one roster.

1. In the Name field, type the name or NetID of the participant you wish to add.

2. In the Role drop-down menu, select the role of the participant in the site.

3. Click the Add button to add the participant.

4. Click the Finish button to complete the process of adding the participant to your site.

Once you have added new participants in Kits, you should see their names and roles listed under Manage Participants in Sakai. Participants who were imported from the course roster (from the official Student Information System, aka SIS) will also appear here and have Sakai role names (like instructor or student).

Add a participant to a course site with more than one roster.

1. In the Name field, type the name or NetID of the participant you wish to add.

2. In the Role drop-down menu, select the role of the participant in the site.

4. In the Linked kit drop-down menu, select any linked kit to add a participant to your site.

4. Click the Add button to add the participant.

TIP: The visitor role has read-only access and cannot add content to any tool in your site such as Tests & Quizzes and Forums. The instructor may fine-tune permission settings in most tools to elevate role permissions for each role including Visitor.
