Search ASU Library FAQs

We are using ASU single sign-on as the only method for signing in, and users add their accounts. Library admins cannot add them before they sign in for the first time, and users have read-only access when they are initially added. ASU Library staff provide permissions. Please contact the library and notify us which user you need added, after they have signed into the repository explorer page for the first time.

Accounts are created at the time of first sign-in, and after that, the library repository administration team can add them to the account with the appropriate permission levels and even assign them to groups.

If you only want to list someone as an author, but not grant permissions to manage your datasets, add their name in the metadata author fields and there is no need for them to sign into the repository.

In a nutshell: You invite contributors by giving them the repository link, and they sign in to create an account, and then you request that we grant them access. The library cannot create accounts for them before they sign in.
