Adding Governors to Hwb

1. Creating Governor Accounts
Adding Governors is done by the Digital Champion in the school (with admin access to Hwb+) by uploading a csv into the Admin area of Hwb+. A guide can be found at
http://resources.hwb.wales.gov.uk/VTC/2015/05/07/hwb_school_bulk_upload_web_part_governors.pdf

The user details will then be added to the school user credential list. Governors can then log into Hwb and access an Office 365 account and the Governors area of the school Hwb+ site. Note that logging in from Hwb will take them straight to the Governors site in Hwb+. If they follow a link to the main school Hwb+ site they will not have permission to view it, unless those permissions are granted by the school.

2. Create an Office 365 Group for Governors
Many schools now prefer to set up Office 365 groups to work with Governors in preference to Hwb+. An O365 Group allows for sharing files, conversation and a calendar with individuals invited to the group with their Hwb username. A pdf guide to setting up an O365 group is here:

3. Using Hwb+
For schools preferring to use Hwb+, a Governor focused guide can be found here – http://resources.hwb.wales.gov.uk/VTC/2015/05/07/governors_guide.pdf
