Frequently Asked Questions:

Where do my students go after I add them to my group?

Have your users log in and then go to https://openlightmedia.com/my-learning-portal-courses/.

Can I add seats to my user group?

At this time it is not possible to add seats to groups. This will be a function in the future and we will let you know when it is possible.


Why can’t I change my Organization Abbreviation anymore?

The website does not work with multiple users with the same Usernames or Emails. Due to the number of repeated school, church, or organization names, we have to avoid repeating Usernames and Emails. In order to avoid this, we keep the Organization Abbreviation locked in once you add a student with the “User Has No Email” feature.

General Notes:

Seat Count
When the subscription to course content was purchased, there was a number of seats that were purchased. Each seat represent a user that can have access to the purchased course. Administrators will be unable to add any more users after all the seats are used.

When users are added to the site database, the Username will be the same as the Email assigned to their user account.

Users Who Have No Email
In some cases the email/username can be a fake email if that is required for the user or if the administrator chooses.

Passwords
Passwords need to be at least 8 Characters, One Number, One Uppercase Letter, and One Lowercase Letter.

Administrators
Administrators take a “seat” when added, as a result will reduce the number of seats available for users.
Administrators cannot edit other administrators information.
Administrators can edit organizational information.

Organization Abbreviation
The Organization Abbreviation is unique and specific to each organization.
This value is used to generate access codes and create fake emails that are associated with a particular user group should the need arise.
