Accessing and Editing Teacher Sites for Admins

Overview

Admins may need to access teacher and school staff websites to publish, unpublish, or update the sites. User sites are linked in the Staff Directory when published and removed when unpublished. 

Prerequisites

• You need to have an Admin account.
• Webmasters (who do not have admin access) can only edit or unpublish user sites that are already published; unpublished user sites can be accessed by Admins.

Solution

• If you have an Admin account, follow the steps below:
  1. Log in as the required teacher or staff member.
  2. Click My Website at the top of the page.
     
     
     
     
  3. On the new page, you can:
     
     • Publish the user site.
       
       
       
       
     • Unpublish the site - this will remove the link to the user site from the Staff Directory.
     • Edit the user site.
       
       
       
       
• If you have Webmaster rights and the user site is published, you can follow the steps below:
  1. From the Toolbox, click Site Center.
     
     
     
     
  2. Open the Tools tab and click Go next to Log into User Sites.
     
     
     
     
  3. Click on the name of the required user site; only published user sites are accessible.
     
     
     
     
  4. On the new page, you can:
     
     • Unpublish the user site - this will remove the link to the user site from the Staff Directory.
     • Edit the user site.
       
       

Confirmation

Open the page that contains the Staff Directory module on your School website.
If you have unpublished the user site, it will not be linked to the user name (Demo Staff in this example). If the site is published, click on the name of the teacher/staff member (Mr Smith in this example) to review it.
