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

Add users

If you are the Owner or an Admin 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/avatar in the top-right corner of your dashboard > Settings > under your School name (on the left), click Members.

Add users to your account in one of the following ways:

• Share an invite link
• Add individuals manually (via email)
• Upload using a CSV file
• Domain approval

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/avatar in the upper-right corner of the dashboard > Settings > Members.
2. Click Add members.
3. Select Invite links.
4. Click Enable link next to the role you want to invite for. Then, click Copy.
5. Paste the link into an email (or whichever form of communication you prefer) and share it with those you wish to invite!

Users without an existing Padlet account will be added to the Padlet for Schools account automatically once they have accepted their invitation. Their user role is assigned based on the invite link that was sent to them.

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/avatar 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. Click the pink, Add button.

Users with an existing Padlet account will be automatically added to the school's account. Users without an existing Padlet account will be sent an email with a link to sign up. They will be automatically added once they do this.

Add multiple users

Add multiple users with a CSV file.

1. Make a copy of this sample csv and add the users' email addresses and a valid role type: Admin, Teacher or Student
2. Download as a .csv file
3. Open the file with a text editor (such as Notepad or TextEdit) or Microsoft Excel and add rows for all users
4. Copy the content

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

Users with an existing Padlet account will be automatically added to the school's account. Users without an existing Padlet account will be sent an email with a link to sign up. They will be automatically added once they do this.

Domain approval

Account owners can allow self-registration for their organization by getting their domain approved!

Users with emails that match the approved domains will be added to the School account once they log into their organization specific login page (i.e. padlet.com/hogwartsschoolofmagic) or view a padlet from their organization.

To get your domain approved, follow these steps:

1. Click on your account name/avatar in the upper-right corner of your dashboard
2. Click Settings > Security
3. Scroll down to the 'Approved domains' section and click Add new domain
4. Enter the domain for approval (the part of your email that is after the @ symbol)
5. Select the role that these users will be assigned
6. Submit your domain!

Our team will review the domain and follow up with an email to let you know the status of your request.
