Adding Users and Assigning Roles

Users can be added in several ways.

For two easy ways:

1. Allow users to join the site using the standard drupal login message. Once all students have joined the site, navigate to http://yoursite.com/?q=admin/user/configure (or, administer -> users -> configure). Under Public Registrations, change the settings to only allow administrators to create user accounts.
2. Navigate to http://yoursite.com/?q=admin/user/userplus (or, administer -> users -> user+). Add users, their email address, their password, and assign them into a role.

Assigning roles can be done for all users at once through userplus at http://yoursite.com?q=admin/user/userplus/userperms, or by editing an individual's user account. All site users belong to the authenticated user role by default.
