Adding Users to Your Private Forum

Moderators of public forums do not need to worry about adding users. Users with BU Logins will automatically be able to read and post messages, and outside users can register with their email address.

User management is done by adding and removing users to a Usergroup. A single Usergroup will be affiliated with your forum when it is created as a private forum. Members of this Usergroup will be able to post and read messages in your private forums.

Go to your Usergroup management page by first clicking the Usergroups link at the top left of any Forums@BU page, then choose your forum's group from Current Memberships and click "View Information". This page will allow you to manage who is in the Usergroup for your forum and who is not.

Add a User

Scroll to the bottom of the page. Fill in the user's login (either their BU Login or their Forums@BU login). Then click Add Member.

Remove a User

Find the User you would like to remove and click the checkbox next to the right of their login name. Then click Remove Selected.
