\label{Domain_Change_Privileges}
Users in a domain with rights to create users can add a user, modify a user's privileges or change a user's information as follows: 

\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \textbf{Main Menu} and then select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{cprv}
\textbf{Create users or modify the roles and privileges of users}.
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{edit-redo} 
\textbf{Add/Modify a User} in the ``Single Users'' box on the User Management page.
\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.  You can also click the \underline{Select User} link and a window will open with a list of all the users in the domain for whom you have assigned course personnel and/or author or co-author roles in the past (as a Domain Coordinator).

\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.

\item Click the box next to the roles you wish to revoke, or add to the user. If 
you are adding roles in a course, a section can be assigned (not required) by choosing from existing sections or typing a new one. You can also provide starting and ending dates for the role.
\item Click \fbox{Modify user}

\end{enumerate}
