Users must be assigned to a private site in order to gain access to it. After assigned, the user accesses the site via the site’s URL. Users who do not have personal pages go directly to the site pages on login.
Open sites allow users to join and leave at any time without approval from an administrator. Restricted sites force users to request membership which is approved by an administer. Private sites only receive new members who are assigned by an administrator either individually or by association.
Site administrators can assign users to sites in two ways:
Directly: Assign users directly to a site by assigning their user account to the site.
Indirectly: Assign users indirectly by first assigning them to entities, such as groups, organizations, or locations, then assign these entities to a site. Users who belong to a group, organization, or location that is assigned to a site are also assigned to the site.
All site members, regardless of whether they were assigned directly or indirectly, have access to the same functionalities.
For more information about setting default sites for users, see Section 4.4.1, Default Associations for User Accounts.
HINT:If the list of available users, user groups, organizations, or locations is long, use the Search function to locate specific entities.
