Access to the faculty portal is maintained here. Log on and password information can be set, as well as enabling and disabling portal access, and enabling direct grade submittal through the portal. The Default Course Management Role can be set here. The role the faculty is assigned can be assigned/changed at the course level, when scheduling faculty in Offering Maintenance.
To view or change Faculty Portal User information:
Click Reset Password to send the faculty an email which contains their Portal User Name and a link which will allow the faculty to change their password. The link expires after it has been used or 15 days, whichever comes first. The URL contained in the link is defined in CAMS Manager >Lookup Table Options >Portal URL Ref.
Note: Clicking Reset Password removes the existing password. The password must then be reset via the link in the email or in the CAMS Enterprise Faculty Portal detail window.
To send the Portal Handle and Portal Password to the faculty in a plain-text email, check the box next to Set Password. The password field will then be cleared and marked as a red, required field and an email icon will display to the right of the Portal Password field. Enter the new Portal User Name (if desired) and the Portal Password. Click the email icon to send an email to the faculty. The email MUST be sent before saving the record. Once the record is updated, the password is encrypted and cannot be sent in a plain text email.
*** The Forum Portal was decommissioned in CAMS Release 21.2.0. ***
In the Forum Portal Member Information area, click Create to create a Forum Portal Member for the faculty. New fields will display with the Forum Portal User Name populated using the same login as the default style forums and the Active field selected. Enter the password to be used for the Forum Portal. The login and password for the Forum Portal are not linked to the Faculty Portal and can use separate login information. When accessing the Forum Portal via the Discussion Forum the faculty will automatically be logged into the Forum Portal using the login information entered here.
Note: The Forum Portal Member is the login for the separate Forum Portal that must be enabled in CAMS Manager >CAMS Portal >Misc Configuration.
