Institution admins can invite tutors to join their institution by adding them as Teachers. Once invited, tutors can access the institution and use Pencil Spaces according to the permissions assigned to their role.
đĄ Pro tip: This guide covers how to add one tutor at a time. If youâre adding several tutors or other users at once, use our bulk upload tool to add multiple tutors to your institution at once. For more information, see our guide: How can I add people to my institution in bulk?
How to invite a tutor
To add a single new tutor to your institution in Pencil Spaces.
Log in to Pencil Spaces, and click People on the left-hand side of the home screen.
Click the Invite button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
A window will open where you can enter the new userâs information. Complete all required fields, including:
Name
Email address
Password
User role
For User Role, ensure that you select Teacher. The Teacher role gives tutors access to the teacher-level features available within your institution.
Before sending the invitation, you can optionally select Send welcome email to send the new user a welcome email teaching them the basics of Pencil Spaces.
Once you have entered the required information, click Invite in the bottom-right corner of the window.
Once invited, the new tutor will then be added to your institution!
Note: If you leave the password field blank when adding a new tutor, the user will be prompted to create their own password when they sign in for the first time. Alternatively, you can input one for them. Should the user want to change the password youâve selected for them, they can select Reset password when they login.
