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

    SARS Admin Security User Names

     

  4. From the list of User Names, find and select the desired user

  5. At the bottom, fill in:

    SARS Admin User Name New User

     

    1. From the drop down menus, choose:

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

  6. In the Actions sidebar, click Save
