Access and participants

If you have a contest with open registration, you don't need to add participants. If you have a contest with closed registration, add participants so they can access the contest page in the participant interface.

In an interval contest, you can assign administrative roles to other administrators, add participants, and set individual start times.

Add a participant and select a role

To add users to a contest:

1. Go to the contest settings page and select Access and participants in the section on the left.
2. Click Add user.
3. Enter the user's login in the search bar.
4. Select one or more users from the search results.
5. Click Add. The users will be added to the table and assigned the participant role.

You can assign one or more roles to each user or change them. To do this, select the desired roles in the Role column:

Name	Description
None	No role. The user registered for the contest after it ended and is taking it as practice. For more information, see Access to contest (the Training after the contest option).
participant	Contest participant. The participant's submissions are counted when building the leaderboard (only those sent during the contest, not during upsolving).
admin	Administrator. Grants access to edit and view contest settings in the admin interface. Submissions from users with this role are not counted in the leaderboard, even if they also have the participant role.
judge	Judge. Grants access to the judge's (real-time) leaderboard in the participant interface, allows viewing participants' questions and submissions and replying to them. Does not allow changing contest settings.
starting allowed	Grants access to participate in contests where the Individual start option is disabled. With this role, the participant can start the contest on their own. Can be used in contests with open registration where only confirmed participants are allowed to start and participate.
coach	Coach. This role is not used.
coordinator	Coordinator. Can change the contest type, start time, and duration; set individual start times for participants; view the list of submissions and contest results. Does not have access to verification reports and cannot change contest settings.

The Group role and Role columns complement each other. See Add a group and assign a role.

Rename participants

To rename a participant:

1. Click the participant name you want to edit.
2. Enter a new name and press Enter.

Delete participants

To delete a participant from the contest, click in the row with the desired user or group.

If you want to delete all users, click Delete all participants. No participants will remain in the table.

Add a team

You can also add a team of participants. Teams are created by participants in the participant interface.

To add a team:

1. Go to the contest settings page and select Access and participants in the section on the left.
2. Click Add user.
3. Go to the Find team tab.
4. Enter the team name in the search bar and select it from the search results.
5. Click Add.

Set an individual start time

In an interval contest, you can set an individual start time for each participant.

To do this, click on the start time and select the date and time in the calendar in the Start time column for the desired participant.

Add a group and assign a role

You can assign a role to a group so that you don't have to assign roles individually for each user.

To add a group:

1. Go to the contest settings page and select Access and participants in the section on the left.
2. Go to the Groups tab and click Add group.
3. Enter the group name in the search bar and select it from the search results.
4. Click Add. The group will be added to the table. To assign a role to a group, select the desired role in the Role column.
