Are students automatically added to my Sakai portfolio site?

In a Sakai portfolio site, a Coordinator must add students manually using the Add Participants option of the Site Info tool. Coordinators can use a list of student UD IDs or alphabetic UDelNet IDs (email addresses including @udel.edu) to add the students. There is no roster synchronization for portfolio or project sites. Roles in a portfolio site are slightly different from those in  a course site; students should be given CIG Participant access.

Anyone who is responsible for the administrative aspects of the site should have CIG Coordinator access. Instructors who are providing feedback and evaluation information on students’ work should be made Evaluators. There is also a Reviewer role for those who will provide guidance to the students as they contribute their work.
