How district-level users view and modify existing user accounts one at a time

You can view and modify existing user accounts one at a time or multiple existing user accounts all at once through file upload. If a user’s information changes after you have added the user to TIDE, you must edit the user account to match the most up-to-date information. If the user’s account does not include the most up-to-date information, the user may not be able to access other CAI systems or features within those systems. You can also delete users from TIDE.

  1. From the Users task menu, select View/Edit/Export User. The View/Edit/Export User page appears.

  2. Retrieve the individual user account you want to view, edit, export, or delete by following the procedure in the section “How to modify existing records one at a time” in the Introduction.

  3. In the list of retrieved user accounts, select the Pencil Edit button for the user whose account you want to view or edit (refer to Icons).

  4. If your role allows it, modify the user’s details as required, using the table “Fields in the View/Edit User Page” in the appendix as a reference.

  5. Optional: To add more roles for this user, select +Add More Roles and then follow the steps as described in the section on adding individual users.

  6. Optional: To delete a role, select Trashcan button next to that role. You can also delete the user’s entire account from the search results table.

  7. Select Save.

  8. In the affirmation dialog box, select Continue to return to the list of user accounts.

How district-level users add or modify multiple user accounts all at once

You can also add or modify multiple user accounts all at once through file upload as shown in the section “How to add or modify multiple records at once” in the Introduction.

  1. From the Users task menu, select Upload Users. The Upload Users page appears.

  2. Following the instructions in the section “How to add or modify multiple records at once” in the Introduction and using the table “Columns in the User Upload File” in the appendix as a reference, fill out the template, and upload it to TIDE. Users who have not previously been set up in TIDE will be added in TIDE. Users who already have accounts set up in TIDE will have their accounts modified with the updated content from the upload.
