How to check user authentication with teacher and admin role?

Please follow the steps to verify user accounts if you receive user enquiries about account and course access. 
  1. Visit Participants.
  2. Search for the user's name or email. 
    1. Confirm the user's successful enrollment by locating their information in the Participants page. Ask them to reset password if they cannot access to the platform. Provide the course link for easy navigation. 
    2. Proceed to step 3 if you cannot find any user in the course participants page. 
  3.  Proceed to Enroll users tab on the right-hand side and top of the participant list.
  4. Search for the name or email in the Select users field. 
    1. If the user is found, provide them with course enrollment instruction. DO NOT enroll the user using this method if you have enabled the access key enrollment for the course. Contact facdev@mcmaster.ca for more information if you have question about your enrollment setting.
    2. If user not found, invite the user to sign up on FacDev. In addition, provide them with the instruction of course enrollment. 
By following these steps, you can efficiently authenticate users with teacher and admin roles, troubleshoot access issues, and guide them through the enrollment process.
