How do I create a user name?

SARS user who will meet with students, e.g., advisors, tutors, coaches, etc., need a short name and a user name. The short name is what will appear on THE GRID in SARS Anywhere; the user name is the name they will use to log in to SARS.

SARS users who will not meet with students, e.g., support staff members, do not need a short name. They need only a user name.

Instructions

1. Log in to SARS Anywhere Admin, sarsweb.ua-net.ua.edu/SARSAdmin/Main.aspx#

2. Click Security (left sidebar)

3. Click User Names

   Open

   Open

   

    

5. At the bottom, fill in:

    

   1. User Name (recommend using the user’s myBama username)

   2. Password (use a temp password, such as abc123, and show the user how to change it after they’re logged in to SARS Anywhere)

   3. Full Name

   4. Email address (see note, below)

   5. From the drop down menus, choose:

      1. Primary Location

      2. Access Code (this determines what a user can/can’t see or do in SARS)

      3. Short Name (again only needed if the user will meet with students)
