author or course), and user's permissions (i.e., edit or view privilege).
\label{Author_Change_Privileges}
To assign a user as a co-author or assistant co-author to your authoring space, do the following: (Note: if creation of new users is not permitted in your domain, you will only be able to add a user with an existing account in the LON-CAPA system).
\begin{enumerate}
\item Click the \textbf{People} item in the inline menu or select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{emblem-photos}
\textbf{Manage co-authors} in the ``User Management'' box on the Main Menu page.
\item At the \textbf{User Management} screen, select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{edit-redo}
\textbf{Add/Modify a Co-author}.
\item You can use the \textbf{Search for a user and modify/add user information or roles} section to search for a user by username, or last name, in a specific LON-CAPA domain, or in an institutional directory, if the domain has access to an institutional directory search service.
\textbf{Note}: If you know the exact username, you can either use a ``username is ...'' search in the search section, or type the username in the textbox in the \textbf{Search criteria} section.
\item Click the \textbf{Search} or \textbf{Create/Modify user} button, as appropriate.
\textbf{Note}: If the user exists, the \textbf{Modify existing user} screen will display the user's information, existing roles and roles you can assign. Which fields appear as textboxes in the \textbf{Personal Data} table, and may be modified, will depend on policies set for the domain.
\textbf{Note}: If this will be a new user, the \textbf{Create New User} screen will display fields to type in the user's information, and roles you can assign. The main differences between a Co-author and an Assistant Co-author role are that (a) a user with an assistant co-author may only browse published resources belonging to authors for whom the user has an assistant co-author role, (whereas a co-author can browse system-wide) and (b) a user with a co-author role is considered and ``advanced user'', while a user with an assistant co-author role is not (a domain coordinator can assign common settings to all advanced users).
\item Click the box next to the roles you wish to revoke, or add to the user. If
you are adding roles you can provide starting and ending dates for the role.
\item To save your changes click \fbox{{Save}
\end{enumerate}
