How do I add a new user/supervisor to FindAPhD?

This article will explain how a new supervisor can be added to your institution, so they can be applied to existing or new research opportunities on FindAPhD

Adding a new supervisor to FindAPhD is very simple, and can be done in two ways.

Adding a user as an Administrator

Administrator account types for FindAPhD have the ability to add users when logged into your Dashboard. This is useful for when you may want to provide your supervisors with access to a particular department so they can begin purchasing credits to upload opportunities themselves.

1. Log into your account here
2. Navigate to the 'Manage' menu, and select 'Users'
3. Now you can add a new user, and select which user type they are (Administrator or Supervisor)
   
   

Adding a user/supervisor during a Project Listing / Research Programme upload

You can also add a new user during an upload of a Project Listing or Research Programme page. This saves you time as it means you can upload an opportunity the same time as adding users, rather than manually adding them one by one beforehand. 

You will see the 'Select a Supervisor' option when uploading a project/programme:

If your supervisor isn't in the list however, simply click 'Create a new supervisor', and follow the steps above.
