Adding or removing members to a closed Stellar site

This article provides instructions for instructors or administrators, wishing to add or remove instructors, administrators, TAs or participants to a previous term Stellar course site.

There is a bug that affects all 'closed' Stellar class sites using lmod membership. After the semester ends and a course is archived, membership needs a forced sync performed on the back end before anyone new can be added to the course and obtain access to course materials. To request a forced sync, contact the IS&T Help Desk.

Step one: Go to the Access control page for the course site.

  1. Navigate to the older course site and click LOGIN.
    Result: After clicking Login, you will see a message: "This course is no longer active".
  2. Note that the second paragraph of the message says "You can still control access to this site", and contains a link to the Access Control page.
