3. Controlepaneel

3.1. Account

Je hebt altijd een account nodig om je te authenticeren en toegang tot je persoonlijke informatie, portfoliopagina’s en groepen te krijgen. Je kunt aanmelden via de Mahara startpagina.

Login form

1. Username: Type your username in this field (not for SSO or Moodle accounts).

2. Wachtwoord: Geef je wachtwoord; Als je je wachtwoord 5 keer na elkaar fout ingeeft tijdens één sessei, dan wordt je toegang geblokkeerd gedurende 5 minuten voor je opnieuw kunt proberen.

3. Klik op de Aanmelden knop om toegang te krijgen tot je account

4. Verloren gebruikersnaam / wachtwoord: als je je gebruikersnaam en wachtwoord voor jouw account niet meer herinnert, klik dan op deze link zodat je naar een pagina gebracht wordt waar je via e-mail je gebruikersdetails kan opvragen. Je zult je gebruikernaam krijgen en een link om je wachtwoord te wijzigen.

5. Registreer: Als je geen account hebt en je instuut staat zelfregistratie toe, gebruik dan deze link en volg de instructies op de volgende pagina.

6. SSO-login: Als je inlogt via de SSO (single sign-on)-account van je instituut, gebruik dan deze knop om naar de SSO-loginpagina te gaan.

Notitie

Het gewone aanmeldscherm is enkel beschikbaar voor interne en LDAP-accounts. Interne accounts zijn account waarvoor je registreert via je Mahara site of die aangemaakt waren door beheerders handmatig, of via CSV bestandsupload.

De link voor verloren gebruikersnaam/wachtwoord werkt enkel voor interne accounts als je het standaard loginformulier gebruikt.

If you log in via SSO or Moodle for example, you must retrieve your password directly from these services. If you do not know how to do that, please ask your administrator.

You only see the SSO buttons if SSO has been been enabled on your site for at least one institution.

You can hide the login form entirely from the homepage if your Mahara instance generally only connects to an external authentication method such as MNet or CAS. In these cases, your users will need to log in via a different site and seeing the login form on the homepage may only be confusing.

Once you have hidden the login form, only a link to it is displayed on the homepage for an administrator to log into the site.

Link to the login form

Nadat je aangemeld bent in Mahara, zie je je “controlepaneel”. Dit is jouw startpagina waar je de laatste activiteit van jezelf en van andere gebruikers op Mahara kan zien. Je kunt het controlepaneel aanpassen, zodat je altijd die dingen ziet die voor jouw het meest belangrijk zijn.

Jij bent de enige die je controlepaneel kan zien. Niemand anders heeft er toegang toe.

3.2. Login with strict privacy

When the site administrator turned on strict privacy, you need to consent to the terms and conditions and the privacy statement of the site and maybe even an institution if you are a member of an institution before you can enter your account. If you don’t, you have the opportunity to discuss your issues with them with an administrator.

Notitie

When any of the statements changed, you will be presented with them again and need to make a decision about consenting or not.

Accept legal statements upon first login

1. Title of the legal statement.

   Notitie

   There can be up to 4 statements that you may need to consent to. This depends on the setup of the site that you use.

2. Click the Retractable icon to close this section. This is helpful if the texts are very long.

3. The date the statement was last updated is displayed.

4. The text of the statement.

5. If you consent to the statement, flip the switch to “Yes”.

   Notitie

   Before you consent to a statement, please read it carefully. If you do not understand a section or have questions, do not consent to it but leave it set to “No”. When you save your changes, you will have the opportunity to detail why you do not consent and get in touch with the administrator to discuss your concern.

6. Click the Save changes button to accept your decisions.

3.3. Overzicht

Je kunt bepaalde aspecten van je controlepaneel wijzigen, namelijk de gebruikerspecifieke informatie, maar veel van wat je ziet is statisch om je snel toegang te kunnen geven naar andere delen van Mahara.

Your homepage is your dashboard from which you can access a number of areas in Mahara conveniently.

1. Search: Search for users who have an account to view their profile page and check which pages they have made accessible to you. If your site has fulltext search available, you can search for anything on the site using this search box.

   Notitie

   In het Zoek gebruikers veld kun je zoeken naar de getoonde naam van gebruikers. Afhankelijk van de instellingen die de sitebeheerder gemaakt heeft, kun je ook zoeken naar de echte naam en gebruikersnaam. Als de sitebeheerder toestaat dat gebruikers hun echte naam verbergen, dan kun je dat doen in je algemene account-opties.

   To provide you with the most relevant search results, you automatically search only for users within your own institution, but can choose to search for everyone on your Mahara installation on the “Find people” search page you are taken to.

   Als de sitebeheerder exacte gebruiker zoeken ingeschakeld heeft, moet je de juiste getoonde naam of echte naam kunnen ingeven om een gebruiker te kunnen vinden.

Afhankelijk van de instellingen voor jouw instituut kan de beheerder kiezen of je alle gebruikers ziet, de gebruikers van jouw instituut of helemaal geen gebruikers.

10. Profile completion: You see this sidebar block if your site or institution administrators turned on the profile completion functionality.

11. Links and resources: List of links to websites or documents that are visible to all logged-in users or the public.

Notitie

If you removed these boxes from your dashboard but want to get them back at a later point, you can re-active them under User menu → Settings → Preferences → Dashboard information.

If you do not see the dashboard boxes and do not have the option to turn this setting on, your site administrator disabled this feature in the site configuration.

• Latest changes I can view

The footer is displayed on every page. If you have your custom theme, you can also make changes to the footer.

Links in the footer
