Email template for Guest Users without an ePanther ID
Hi Instructor Name,
A guest user account has now been created for Guest User First and Last Name.
Username = GuestUserFirstName.Last Name
An email has been sent to Guest User First Name requesting the creation of a password (with Subject Line: UWM D2L New User Confirmation and From: UWM D2L no-reply). Please let Guest User First Name know that the email has been sent and that the link to set a password is only viable for 5 days. After that, the link will expire and a new password will need to be generated.
When enrolling Guest User First Name in your D2L course site, feel free to select a role that you deem most appropriate for your needs. You can use this tutorial to add Guest User First Name to your course site: http://uwmltc.org/?p=876. For more information on D2L user roles, see: http://uwmltc.org/?p=822.
Guest User First Name will access D2L through a Special Access Account Login (Non ePanther ID). Instructions for logging in with a Special Access Account can be found here: http://uwmltc.org/?p=1020.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us again.
Best,
