The following information is for Admin users who are looking to enrol their MyST child users in Portal.
When managing your Portal users, please be aware that:
- You need to activate your users before they can sign in.
- Their permissions may differ slightly from MyST. We recommend you take a few minutes to read our guidance on Portal user roles and familiarise yourself with the minor changes that have been made.
Activating your Users
When you sign in to Portal and look at your list of users, you will find that we have already migrated your users to the new platform. Before they can sign in and start using their new Portal accounts, you will need to follow the steps below to activate your users.
-
Select “Settings" and then "Users” from the left navigation bar. This displays a list of your users.
-
Users that have not yet been migrated to Portal are shown with status "STAGED".
-
To the right of users to be migrated, click under the Action column, then "Activate user" from the context menu that appears. When prompted, click "Confirm" from the dialog box to complete the action.
-
The selected user will receive an email with a link to sign in to Portal for the first time. They will be prompted to set a new password and configure their Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Until the migration process has been completed, the user's status will be set to "PROVISIONED". -
Once this process has been completed, the user's status will update to "ACTIVE".
The user has 7 days to complete this process. If they fail to migrate within this time limit, you can re-send the email by repeating the steps above but instead clicking "Resend activation email" from the Actions context menu. This re-sends the activation email and resets the time limit.
User Roles
With the launch of Portal, we redesigned the user roles from the ground up with the objective of simplifying the existing list currently employed by MyST. When enrolling in Portal, all users coming from MyST are automatically assigned a new Portal user role that most closely matches their MyST role. We have taken care to review this process to ensure users are not granted additional privileges when their new Portal role is assigned.
We encourage administrators to review our full list of new Portal user roles and re-assign the roles automatically given to their users if necessary. See the list below for further detail on how roles have been re-assigned:

Tips for Admins
-
To view your users, click "Settings" from the left, then "Users". They will be listed in a table.
- You will be able to view info on all users that you share at least one site reference with.
- You can only edit a given user if you administrate all site references assigned to their account.
- Users migrated from MyST who have not yet been emailed a link to enrol in Portal will be shown with status "STAGED".
- While no action is needed (we send out these emails automatically in batches), you can click "Activate user" from the Actions drop-down on the right to initiate the enrolment process manually.

Users who have already been emailed the link to enrol are shown with status "PROVISIONED".
