Creating Individual User Connect Mail Accounts

1. Log in to your Gmail (aka Connect Mail) account.

2. Click on the “gear” button located in the far upper right of your window.

3. Click on the “Manage this Domain” option.

4. Click on the “Users” button toward the upper left of the window.

5. Double-check and make sure the user does not already exist by typing in their username into the Search text box at the top of the window.

6. If the user does not truly exist, click on the teal circle with a white plus sign toward the bottom right of the window with the screen tip “Add user.”

7. Type in the users first and last names, their username, and click the “Create” button.

8. Search for the user in the search box, click to open them up, and click in the “Account” section.

9. Once the “Account” section is open, under the “Password” area, uncheck the “Require user to change password at next sign-in” checkbox, and click the “Save” button.

10. Then log out of Gmail.

11. Log in to Colleague.

12. Go to the NAE screen/mnemonic.

13. Pull up that same user you just created by their first and last name or ID#.

14. Toward the bottom of that window where all their emails are listed, double-check to see if a Connect Mail email is listed.

    1. If the Connect Mail is listed, you are done.

    2. If the Connect Mail is NOT listed, then go to the first blank email placeholder.

       1. Place a “G” in the first text box (this represents the Connect Mail for Gmail).

       2. Type in the new Connect Mail email address you just created in Gmail.

       3. Place a “Y” in the last text box (this represents that this email is now the primary contact for that user).

       4. Click on the “Save” button.

          1. If prompted that you are changing the primary email, accept these changes.

       5. You now need to go to the DRUS screen/mnemonic and re-DRUS the student.

          1. Once the student is pulled up, click on the “Save” button and “Update” as needed.

15. Advise the student that they need to go in and “Reset My Password” in WebAdvisor about mid-way toward the left side of the screen (this will sync the same password for WebAdvisor, Connect Mail, Sakai, etc.).

Note: You must be a Super Administrator to be able to add users to Gmail.
