How to Add Users to Your Course or Organization

The Course Director, Course Supporter, or anyone else responsible for managing their course / organization has the ability to add users.

*Note: Only the registrar is responsible for adding students to an accredited course. However, if you have an organization, participants will have to be added by the Leader or Organization Supporter.

• • Open the “Control Panel” menu.

  • Click on the “Users and Groups” option.

  • Click on the “Users” option.

• • Click on the “Find Users to Enroll” button.

If you don't know someone's MSSM ID, you will need to search for them.

• • Under the “Enroll Users” area, click on the ‘Browse” button. This will launch a search window.

• • Search for users by typing in their First or Last name and click "Go." You can also search by email address.

• • When you have found them, mark the check box next to their name.

  • Click on the “Submit” button to add that user to the list of users you want to enroll.

• • When you have the list of  all the users you want to enroll, use the dropdown menu to select the role you will assign them.

    • If you don't know what role to give them, we have provided a list of the roles and information about the privileges of each role.

• • Click on the “Submit” button when you are done.

  • You should receive confirmation that the users were enrolled.

If you receive an Error Message it can be one of two things.

• • User is already Enrolled: The user you are trying to enroll is already in the course. Please double check to see if they are listed in your course.

  • User does not Exist: The user does not have a Blackboard account. E-mail the Academic IT Support Center (ASCIT@mssm.edu) and ask them to create the account for you. Then enroll them once they tell you the account(s) have been created.
