Invite Site Editors

Update March 2022: After sites are migrated to the Cloud Hosting platform. To invite a new user to the site, you will need to use an individual's identikey email. The identikey email is the person's identikey@colorado.edu. OIT has more information on how to find your identikey name.

Adding editors or maintainers to your site is very simple. You can invite anyone who has a CU Boulder Identikey to have access to your site. Invitations may also be customized with instructions or information specific to your site.

Note: Site Owners or Site Editors with the Access Manager Add-on role may invite additional site editors or maintainers. Learn more about Roles and Permissions.
