Staff access to your site

Teaching or administration staff can be added to your UoS site through SEAMS (Sydney eLearning Account Management System), which allows you to manage staff and student access to your UoS sites. To add staff to your site, you will need their unikey. If they are a new staff member of the the University you will need their full details (name, unikey, email and phone) to add them to the University LMS.

How to add staff to your site

Login to SEAMS with your unikey and password

  • Click on >> Site title e.g. MATH1001, PHIL4567.. to access the site details screen for that eLearning site.
  • Choose >> Enrollment settings for the site, located in the top right of your screen.
  • Choose >> Staff Enrollments. You should see a list of staff who have access to the site and their UniKeys and the site roles - Instructor and/or Designer (SINS/DES).
  • Type the Unikey into the field at the bottom of the Staff Enrolments page.
  • Choose the Role (SINS/DES) from the drop-down field next to the UniKey
  • Click the Update button to add staff to the site.

If they have not been entered into the SEAMS database with the message 'Some users do not exist, no updates have taken place', with a link to an online form that will add new users to SEAMS. They will need to be entered into the SEAMS before you can add them to your site. New unikeys can be added to SEAMS by filling in the online form that appears when you click the UniKey link.

Helpful tip
You can add multiple staff at once by leaving a space between each UniKey. Do not use commas. You can only enter multiple UniKeys when they ALL have the SAME Role.
