Member accounts are the participants who provide valuable insights by engaging in surveys, discussion boards, and other research activities. They can also be used for moderator "test" accounts to test out their surveys from the platform as a member. Only members see the "member side" of the community.
You may add members manually, import members with a batch update, or recruit members to join your community. This article describes adding members manually.
Navigate to Members > Manage Members (or click the Manage Members quick button in the top right corner of your moderator dashboard). This is where you can create a new member account.
To create a new account...
- Click the New Member icon.
- Fill out the preferred username, full name, password, and email address you would like to associate with the account.
- Select the Member Type: Member.
- If you have distinct communities, select the one to which you want to add this member.
- Click the Create Member button to add this member, or click the Cancel button to terminate adding a new member.
