Students are able to add guest users to view certain information located on their home.apu.edu Dashboard. Students can add parents, relatives, friends, etc. that they would like to share their information with.

Where is the "Manage Guests" Section?
 

Once you are signed into home.apu.edu, scroll down in the left side options and select "Manage Guests."

If you do not have any current users, you should see the display as shown down below:

Adding a Guest User

1) Press the "Add Guest User" button as shown above

2) Accept the Terms and Conditions

3) Fill in the "User information" and "USER PERMISSIONS" sections



Name: The user's name

Email: The user's personal email (The username and password will be sent to this email)

Select the user permissions you would like the user to have access to, then hit "Save."

Once the Guest User Account is created, the Guest User will receive two emails. The first email will provide the User ID. The second email will provide a ONE-TIME use link to access the Guest Account's password.
