ARCHIVED: Using Blackboard at IU, how can I manage users and sites?

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

To add someone who's not on the official roster to your course site, or to add users to a practice course site, see Blackboard's Managing Users.

Notes:

Before creating a new user to add to your site, check to make sure the person doesn't already have a Blackboard account; see the "How to Find Users to Enroll" section in the link above.
When creating new Blackboard accounts for Indiana University faculty, staff, and students, the Blackboard username should be the same as the person's IU username. When creating accounts for non-IU users, use the person's email address as the username. When creating secondary accounts for IU users, use a secondary email address as the Blackboard username.
You cannot remove users from a class; this functionality has been disabled to prevent the deletion of student data. Instead of removing a user, change the setting for that person from available to unavailable. If changing the settings are insufficient for your situation, contact your campus Support Center.
If you want to combine two or more sections into one class, contact your campus teaching and learning center.
