How to add a new user to a Contact page?

Add a new user to a Contact page in OKCMS

If your website uses the UBCO CMS Central Directory (centraldirectory.cms.ok.ubc.ca) for Contact/Profile Pages, then the new user should be added to the centraldirectory.cms.ok.ubc.ca website as a subscriber in addition to their respective unit website.

    1. Grant a new user to the OKCMS website that you manage (see instructions) such as https://science.ok.ubc.ca/login
    2. Grant an existing user Subscriber role at the UBCO Central Directory site via https://centraldirectory.cms.ok.ubc.ca/login (see instructions)
    3. Edit the new user’s profile at the UBCO Central Directory site

    4. Once the details are populated by Web Manager at the UBCO Directory site, their profile will show up on the contact page that you manage such as https://science.ok.ubc.ca/about/contact-people. 

If your website does NOT use the UBCO CMS Central Directory (centraldirectory.cms.ok.ubc.ca) for Contact/Profile Pages, then the new user should be only added to the website that you manage.
