Setting Up Room Access for EMS Users
Add an everyday user to specific spaces within the EMS.
In order for a user or or Everyday User of the EMS website to view workspaces available for reservation, the Everyday User will need to be added to both a "Process Template" and "Group" within the EMS desktop client. Review the EMS Administrative Terms document to review details about these terms.
Follow these steps to assign an Everyday User to a Process Template and Group:
- To add a Process Template and/or Group for an Everyday user, note their:
- NetID
- First and Last Name
- On the EMS menu bar, select Configuration > Everyday Applications > Everyday Users.
- Once the Everyday Users window opens

- Select "Display".
- Select/highlight the user's name.
- Select "Edit" on the right-hand side of the screen.
- Once the window for that specific Everyday User editing window loads,
- Select the "Process Templates" tab at the top of the window.
- These are the spaces on the EMS website that will then be available for the user to reserve under the "My Templates" menu.
- Please note: All of the 21 N. Park St. templates start with "WKSP". All available campus process templates from across campus are listed alphabetically.
- In the left-hand column, select/highlight the template name for the template you would like to apply to that user.
- Select the ">" arrow (pointing to the right) in the middle column to move the selected/highlighted template over to the right-hand column.
