Methods of adding users

Find domain-related users

There may be occasion where individual users have set up a myViewBoard account prior to your entity being established. Users may have also created an account outside of the entity, or their account may have accidentally been deleted from your entity.

In such cases, use the Find Domain-related Users button to add these users into your entity. Additionally, admin can set a daily automatic sync of these users through this tool.

NOTE

Only users in your main domain will be discoverable.

Remember, this tool will only be available to Individual Entity types.

To discover users and add individual ones in your main domain, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Users page (in the left-side menu).
  2. Press the + Find Domain-related Users button.
  3. A list of users will load from your main domain who have myViewBoard accounts not currently in your entity.

myViewBoard Name NOTE

The myViewBoard Name field is optional. However, we recommend your organization's teachers update this field to make it easier to connect with audiences during a Whiteboard session.

Keep the following in mind if inputting a myViewBoard Name in this CSV

  • Only letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), and certain symbols (_@-. only).
  • No spaces or non-specified symbols allowed in the First_Name and Last_Name fields.
