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.
