Video Tutorial - Adding a User to a Role

To add a user to a role, first open the content type called users and click the edit button on the right hand side of the user.

Once loaded, half way down the page you should see a section for Role Users. You should also be able to see a button the the right of that section that says Add Item.

If you click on the Add Item button you should see that it opens a drop down bar. Here is where you are going to add the role details into. In the first field you can select the role that you are wanting to add to that user. Once you have selected the role you can also allocate an expiry time and date to the role if the user should only have access for a certain amount of time.

Once you are happy with the information you have inputted you can click the save icon in the top right corner of the screen.

Now when the user next logs in they should see that they have the permissions set for the specific role we added to their account.
