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 organizers, 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 the administrator role to each user. To do this, select a role in the Role column:

  • The admin role shares permission to edit and view contest settings in the admin panel.
  • The judge role gives access to the contest leaderboard.

Rename participants

To rename a participant:

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

Alert

Don't change the start time if the participant has already started solving problems in the contest. This will delete all of the participant's submissions in the contest.

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.
