• To add a user, click on the link with the correct user type (primary or secondary)
• A new window will popup, and ask for the username to give access to
• Enter only the first part of the user's BU email address, the part before the @bu.edu
• Example: If the BU email address you want to add is "test@bu.edu", enter only "test" (without the quotes)
• Select "Apply Changes"
• Close the popup window and refresh your homepage to see the changes
