How to get a list of users who have access to a site

Every site admin can access the Users page (Admin > Users). Here you can see and search a list of everyone who has access to any site you manage, and you can remove or update their permissions.

Go to the User Search page

  1. Open the Brightspot admin menu (the three bars in the top left of any Brightspot editor screen).
  2. Open the Admin dropdown and click the Users item to open the user administration screen. If you do not see this option, contact your Brightspot administrator (who manages Brightspot sites for your department or college).
  3. In the left sidebar, go to the Users title and click the magnifying glass. This will open the user search page.

Filter the list to a specific site

  1. Scroll the sidebar down to where you see the Misc Filters section.
  2. Click on the dropdown that says Any Site to choose a specific site.
  3. If your site is not listed in the dropdown, you can type some or all of the name of your site, and all sites that match what you've typed will appear in the list.
  4. After you select the site you want and a checkmark appears next to it, click somewhere outside the box. This will close the dropdown and filter the list.

Remove users as needed

NOTE: You'll see some Brightspot administrators in your list. They may have permission sets that say 'BYU University Websites' or 'All Sites.' Avoid removing permissions from people who look like they may be administrators.

  1. Locate the users who should no longer have access.
  2. Click on their Label or on the Edit Popup button to open their profile. (You can keep your place in the interface by using the Edit Popup.)
  3. Click on their Permissions tab.
  4. Click the red minus button to the right of the permission set you wish to remove. (They may still have permissions for other sites that you do not control.)
  5. Click the Save button.
  6. If you've used the Edit Popup button, click the Back link above the left sidebar. This will return you to your list of users.
