CHAIR HOW-TO: Modify a User Role
OVERVIEW
There will be times a user’s role will need to be modified.
ADD A USER ROLE IN SINGLE-TRACK CONFERENCE
- In this scenario, we will add the role of Chair to an Author/Reviewer. From the ‘Chair Console’, select ‘Users’ tab>’Conference User.’
- From the ‘Manage Conference Users’ page, find the user whose role you want to modify. Click ‘More>Manage Roles.’
- From the ‘Manage Roles’ dialogue box, click ‘Add Role’, select ‘Chair’ then ‘Save changes.’
DELETE A USER ROLE FROM SINGLE-TRACK CONFERENCE
- In this scenario, we will delete the role of ‘Reviewer’. From the ‘Chair Console’, select ‘Users’ tab>’Conference User.’
- From the ‘Manage Conference Users’ page, find the user whose role you want to modify. Click ‘More>Manage Roles.’
From the ‘Manage Roles’ dialogue box, click the “x” next to “Reviewer,’ then ‘Save changes.’
ADD A USER ROLE IN MULTI-TRACK CONFERENCE
Adding a user role in a multi-track conference is largely the same as in a single-track conference. The difference is selecting one or more tracks you wish to assign to the user’s new role.
- In this scenario we will take this ‘Reviewer’ and add the role of ‘Meta-Reviewer’ to Tracks 3, 4 and 5. First click on ‘Add Role’ and select ‘Meta-Reviewer.’
- In the row of ‘Meta-Reviewer’ click the ‘Add Tracks’ dropdown and select ‘Track-3.’
- Repeat the above step until the 3 tracks are selected, then ‘Save changes.’
ADD TRACK TO EXISTING USER ROLE
There may be times you wish to add Track(s) to an existing user role. For example, adding Tracks 3, and 9 to this Reviewer.
- To add a Track to an existing user role in a multi-track conference, click the ‘Add Track’ dropdown from the row of the ‘Reviewer’ and select ‘Track-3.’
- Repeat the above step until the 2 tracks are selected, then ‘Save changes.’
DELETE TRACK FROM EXISTING USER ROLE
There may be times you wish to remove Track(s) from an existing user role. For example, deleting Track 4 from this Reviewer.
- Click the “X” next to ‘Track-4’ in the Reviewer row. Then ‘Save changes.’
