Add, edit, and remove users in Padlet for Schools (at padlet.com)

Add users

If you are an owner or teacher in a Padlet for Schools account at padlet.com, you should have access to the user management page from your dashboard. Click on your account name in the top-right corner of your dashboard > Settings > Members.

There are a few ways you can bring people in:

• Sharing an invite link
• Adding individuals manually
• Upload using a CSV file
• Enabling automatic account creation

Share an invite link

Sending out an invite link is the most convenient way to get people to join your organization. With links, you can add people without assigning usernames and passwords or filling out a spreadsheet. This is especially useful when inviting users in bulk with assigned user roles.

Owners and Admins can share invite links by performing the following steps:

1. Click your account name on the dashboard > Settings > Members.
2. Click Add members.
3. Select Invite links.
4. Click Copy on the invite link corresponding to the role you'd like your new member to have.
5. Paste the link into an email (or whichever form of communication you prefer) and share it with those you wish to invite!

Recipients will be prompted to sign up and their roles are automatically assigned based on the link they access.

Invite links do not expire but account owners have the option to disable invite link sharing and reset the URLs to control the registration to the Padlet for Schools account.

Add a single user

1. Click your account name on the dashboard > Settings > Members.
2. Click Add members.
3. Select Add emails.
4. Type the email address in the field provided and click the drop-down menu to select what the new user's role will be.
5. If you just need to add one user, click the pink, Send invites button. Otherwise, you can click + Add email to add another member.

Upload using a CSV file

1. Click your account name on the dashboard > Settings > Members.
2. Click Add members.
3. Select Upload CSV.
4. Click Upload to attach your CSV file.

Once the users are added, students and teachers will get an email notification with details on how to join your organization.

Allow third-party log in

Account owners can also allow self-registration for their organization by enabling Third-party Log in for users. This way, users can use their school-issued email addresses to log in.

1. Turn on third-party log in by signing into your account.
2. Click your account name in the top-right corner of your dashboard.
3. Click Settings > Security.
4. Toggle the button ON next to the third-party option you want to allow.
5. Using SSO will enable automatic account creation (as long as the domain is approved).
