    3: 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).

    5: \begin{enumerate}
    6: 
    7: \item Click the \textbf{People} item in the inline menu or select
    8: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{emblem-photos}
    9: \textbf{Manage co-authors} in the ``User Management'' box on the Main Menu page.
   10: \item At the \textbf{User Management} screen, select
   11: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{edit-redo}
   12: \textbf{Add/Modify a Co-author}.
   13: \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.
   14: 
   15: \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.
   16: 
   17: \item Click the \textbf{Search} or \textbf{Create/Modify user} button, as appropriate.
   18: 
   19: \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.
   20: 
   21: \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).
   22: 
   23: \item Click the box next to the roles you wish to revoke, or add to the user. If
   24: you are adding roles you can provide starting and ending dates for the role.
   25: \item To save your changes click \fbox{{Save}
