\label{Author_Create_Coauthor_List}

Authors can upload files containing lists of co-authors to whom they wish to provide editing and publishing rights in their Authoring Spaces. Intended roles (co-author or assistant co-author) for each user can be either read from the file, or a default can be specified.

\begin{enumerate}

\item Click the \textbf{People} item in the inline menu or select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{cprv}
\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]{uplusr}
\textbf{ Upload a File of Co-authors}.
\item Click the \fbox{Browse...} button locate the file on your machine.
\item Select the appropriate file type from the drop-down menu
(usually \textbf{CSV spreadsheet}).  To see how to
generate a CSV file, refer to \ref{Course_Convert_To_CSV}.
\item Click the \fbox{Next} button.
\item The next screen allows you to associate the uploaded spreadsheet's columns
   with the necessary user fields, such as: \textbf{Last Name}, \textbf{First Name},
   etc.  Use the drop-down menus to make an
   association for each of the spreadsheet's columns.

NOTE: If you wish to associate a particular column to more than one field
      (if, for example, you wish to make the users' initial passwords the
      same as their student/employee id), click the \fbox{Reverse
      Association} button.  Then you can assign columns of the spreadsheet to more
      than one field. You can also set the login type, the start/end dates for
   the students from this page.

\item Once you have the column assignment and defaults set,  click the \fbox{Update Users} button to finish.

\end{enumerate}
