As an Administrator, you can perform many actions, including managing platform details, allocating access to Educators, inviting other users to be Administrators and/or Educators on this platform, and archiving Educators.
Once your organization has purchased SmartMusic, you need to create a SmartMusic account and connect it to your platform through the email invite you received.
Jump to:
- Step 1: open the email invite.
- Step 2: create your new SmartMusic account.
- Step 3: invite others to connect as Administrators.
- Step 4: invite others to connect as an Educator.
Step 1: open the email invite.
If you are the designated SmartMusic platform owner, the email has the subject line Your SmartMusic platform is ready. If you are not the SmartMusic platform owner, but have been invited as an Administrator, you receive a Connect to your SmartMusic Platform email. Either way, take the same steps to create your account and connect.
Open the email invite from your email inbox. If you did not receive an email invite, please check out this article for help.
Select ACCEPT INVITE to create your account and connect it to your platform in the role of Administrator. If you have already created an account in the new SmartMusic you can then skip to Step 3. Please note that this is an entirely new platform, and your Classic SmartMusic account does not carry over. Select here for more information.
Step 2: create your new SmartMusic account.

If you are an Educator and an Administrator on the platform, but don't have access to all the tools and content in SmartMusic, you need to make yourself an Educator on the platform.
Select Administrators and choose Make Educator next to your name and email address.
A confirmation message appears. Choose Free to give the Educator limited access to SmartMusic's catalog. Choose Full to give the Educator full access to SmartMusic's catalog.
Step 3: invite others to connect as Administrators.
If there are multiple people in your organization that need to be able to manage platform details, allocate premium access to Educators, and invite other users to be Administrators and/or Educators on this platform, select Administrators. The Administrators page appears. This page allows you to invite new Administrators, view information on current Administrators, and view any pending Administrator invites. Select the Invite new Administrator button.
Enter the email address of the new Administrator and select the Invite Administrator button.
The new Administrator receives a Connect to your SmartMusic Organization email invitation to connect to the platform as an Administrator. They will need to follow Steps 1-2 to connect and set up their account, if needed. As an Administrator, you can view the status of an invite at any time on the Manage admins page under Pending Administrator Invites. You can also resend or cancel a pending invite by selecting Resend.
Once the new Administrator has accepted the invite, their information appears in the Manage admins page.
Step 4: invite others to connect as an Educator.
To view the current Educators in your platform, or to invite an Educator to the platform that does not need to be an Administrator, select Educators. The Educators page appears. This page provides information on the total number of seats that your platform has and how many are currently in use. Select the Invite New Educator button.
Enter the Educator's email address, choose Free or Full, and select Invite This Educator.
The Are you sure? dialog box appears. A brief summary of Free and Full access is described. Select Cancel to return to the Educators page. Select Continue And Invite Educator to send an invitation.

Once an Educator invitation has been sent it can be viewed under the Pending tab. There you will see all Pending invitations and their expiration date and time.
After you or another Educator has set up their account, create a class by following the instructions in our Creating a class article.
If you are the Administrator for more than one SmartMusic platform follow the instructions in our Connecting to multiple SmartMusic platforms (Educators).
