Add New Users to an IU Blogs Site

IU Blogs requires all users to authenticate with IU Login. Users are added to the IU Blogs system when they log in for the first time. Site Administrators will not be able to add new users to their site until the potential new user first logs in to IU Blogs. Please ask any potential new users to do the following:

1. Navigate to https://blogs.iu.edu/.
2. Click “Log In” at the top left of the website.
3. Follow directions to authenticate using IU Login.

The user is now added to IU Blogs and can be added to blog sites.
