Adding a New Speaker in Sites

Summary: This guide walks you through the process of quickly adding an existing user to the 'Speaker' group in Sites, ensuring their profile is available to be selected for association with sermons and livestreams.


Before You Begin

  • You must have Admin permissions to access Sites > People/Users.

  • The user must already have an existing profile on your site (Scenario 2). If not, you must first create their profile.


Step-by-Step Instructions

1.  Click on Sites from your main navigation.

2.  Go to the People/Users section on the left.     

3.  Locate the speaker's profile in the list.

4.  Click the More Menu (three dots...) next to the user's name and Select Edit.

5.  Navigate to the Groups section in the profile settings.

6.  Select (Check) the Speaker group.

7.  Click Save Groups. [The user can now be selected as a speaker when creating sermons or livestreams.]


Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • How do I add a speaker who is brand new to the site? You must first complete the Adding a New Person/User process (see related articles), and then perform Steps 5-7 above to assign them to the Speaker group.

  • I assigned them to the group, but they don't show up in the sermon dropdown: Ensure you clicked Save Groups in Step 7. If the issue persists, try clearing your browser cache or viewing the profile again to confirm the Speaker group box is checked.
