The Paths to MyLO Access for Members

Your League members can have access to the private content on your MyLO site. For example, the Members Only page displays your private content only to your MyLO members. This requires the management of the members list (Manage Members).

NOTE: Access to MyLO and access to the LWVUS Member Portal are NOT connected whatsoever.

Path 1: Member starts, Webmaster completes

1. The member visits your MyLO site or https://my.lwv.org to click ‘Register’ located in the login bar. Clicking ‘Register’ gets the member to this page: https://my.lwv.org/user. NOTE: Any login bar across MyLO works for any user, regardless of their local/state League affiliation.

2. The member clicks the button, “I want to create an account.” This allows them to create their own user account, but won’t allow them access to any League’s private content.

3. Next, the webmaster must add the new user to their own League so they will have access to the private content.

1. Webmaster visits Manage Members, scrolls down to the Add Member button.

2. On the next page, locate the Username or E-mail address field.

3. Type in the username or email address of the new user, then select the correct user from the dropdown list. If you paste in the entry, the dropdown list won’t appear; try deleting the last character to enact the user search that controls the dropdown list.

4. Click the Add users button. NOTE: You can only add one user at a time.

Path 2: Webmaster starts and completes

1. Webmaster visits Manage Members, scrolls down to the Add Member button.

2. On the next page, scroll down to click the button: Create new user. 

3. This will open a new tab to allow you to create the new user’s account.

4. Once the new user account is saved, close this tab to return to the previous tab from step 2, and refresh the page.

5. Locate the Username or E-mail address field.

6. Type in the username or email address of the new user, then select the correct user from the dropdown list. If you paste in the entry, the dropdown list won’t appear; try deleting the last character to enact the user search that controls the dropdown list.

7. Click the Add users button. NOTE: You can only add one user at a time.

BONUS STEP: Does this user need webmaster access? Visit your member list (Manage Members), locate the user, and click ‘edit’ to the right of their username. Check the box for the role, administrator member, and click Update membership.
