How do I add a non-Tufts University account to a project site?
Organizers can add non-Tufts University accounts to a Trunk project site.
Do not add a Non-Tufts account to a site if the user has a Tufts University account.
Trunk will send the person an e-mail letting them know their Trunk username and password. Their Trunk username is their non-Tufts email address. When they log in to Trunk a link to your site will be listed on their display under their More Sites button. They will be able to change their password by clicking on the Account button located on their Workspace site.
Organizers can add user accounts to a Trunk project site with the following roles:
- Participant - Can participate fully (including editing) in the resources tool, read and write access to all other tools.
- Guest - Primarily read-only access. This role is recommended for observers of the project.
- Organizer - This role has the full set of permissions and is allowed not only to build and manage a project site, but also to assign roles, and change permissions.
Go to your Trunk project site.
A link to each of your Trunk sites is displayed under the "More Sites" button located on your My Workspace site, which is displayed after login.

Click Finish.
Trunk will send the person an e-mail letting them know their Trunk username and password. Their Trunk username is their non-Tufts email address. When they log in to Trunk a link to your site will be listed on their display under their More Sites button. They will be able to change their password by clicking on the Account button located on their Workspace site.
The account is now listed in the Site Editor and the Roster tool.
