Activating Users

Overview

User accounts in InPort must be activated in order to be used. This is a separate process from the creation of the account. In addition, due to security requirements, all accounts are automatically deactivated after 90 days of inactivity. This guide explains how to check the activation status of an account, and how to activate / reactivate the account.

Checking Account Activation Status

Login to InPort if you have not already done so.
In the main navigation, go to Organizations and select your line office (or All Organizations).
On the Organizations page, find your organization in the list, and click on the Organization Info button to the right.
On your Organization page, click on the Manage Users link towards the top of the page.
Find the desired user in the list, and click on the View button.
Look at the CAM Link section in the right sidebar.
If the User is active, the Status should be Linked, and the User Role should be Activated. (Note: For users with a Librarian role, the Admin Role should be Activated).
If the User has been deactivated, the User Role will be Inactive.

Activating or Reactivating an Account

View the user whose account you want to activate/reactivate. (See the previous section for instructions on how to find a user.)
Look at the CAM Link section in the right sidebar.
Ensure that the account has Linked status -- an InPort account must be linked to CAM before it can be used. If the account has a Status of Unlinked, click on the Link to CAM button to link the account first. (If the account you are linking is for a user who will have a Librarian role, click the Link to CAM Admin button).
To activate or reactivate an account, click on the Activate button under User Role. (For an account which will have a Librarian role, click on the Activate button under Admin Role).
