Please understand: blog.utc.edu is a network of many individual blogs; however, a user’s login status for all blogs is shared across the network. User Level is set per-blog: a user may be assigned different levels on different blogs, and may (or may not) be associated with one or more blogs.
Confused? Hopefully not, after you have read the following…
Step One: User Authentication & Account Creation (by the new Content Editor)
- The new content editor opens a browser on their computer or lab computer.
- The new content editor visits the CAS Log In link on a specific blog’s home page (default location is in the footer section)
- If the new content editor does not see CAS Log In link, but does see CAS Log Out link, click Log Out; return to specific blog’s home page, refresh browser window, click Log In.
- Login redirects to UTC Central Authentication Service (CAS)
- The new content editor authenticates with CAS, which creates a blog Subscriber account.
- Notify the Web Team that you have completed 1-3 of Step One.
Step Two will be done by a Web Team administrator.
