Overview of steps

1.   CREATE GROUP
When your OrgAdmin account is initially set-up there is a default group named “employees”. This group is an appropriate place to keep all your Administrators that have access to update the system. The “employees” group cannot be removed so any users added to this group need to be removed manually one by one. For specific directions on inviting additional IT admin please read the Invite IT Admin or Other Users section of the OrgAdmin eGuide.

To create a group for your teachers and students select the User Group tab and then select the Create button. This opens the CREATE GROUP dialog box. Enter the following information and select Create.

For additional information of Groups please read the Groups section of the OrgAdmin eGuide.

2.   DECIDE METHOD TO ADD STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

There are two methods to add users to a license. You will need to determine what method is appropriate for your IT set-up.

Bulk Import
For Google or Microsoft Sign On users this is the preferred method as does not require an individual email to each user. This feature enables Google or Microsoft users to be assigned licenses without going through the email invitation process. Once teachers and students are added with this method they can directly go to the software and Sign In using Google or Microsoft to start using their TI software. Refer to section 3a. for key instructions

Bulk Invitations
This method is appropriate if you are not using Google or Microsoft as your school sign in method. Using this method teacher and students will receive an email invitation to their software. They will need accept the invitation and create an account to access their TI software. Refer to section 3b. for key instructions

3A.   ADD USERS – BULK IMPORT METHOD
The Bulk import method is intended for schools that will have their users use Google or Microsoft Sign In to access their license.
