classroom accounts - student usernames/passwords
I have created over 60 student accounts for students without e-mail addresses. When students tried to log in using the usernames and passwords that I created and which were sent to my e-mail many had problems because upper case letters that I had entered and had confirmed by e-mail were not acceptable. They were only able to use lower case letters.
Can you please tell me why this is and why I would be sent confirmation of usernames and passwords if they have to be changed to lower case letters?
Additionally, in part due to this problem I had to re-create some student usernames and passwords. So these students' usernames were deleted from the list of users, and I created new users for these students using the same username but was told that these names were already in use. These usernames were not in use because I had deleted them and had received confirmation that they had been deleted.
Can you please tell me why this is.
As I now have over 60 new students using my wiki please can you tell me how as an administrator I can keep my images and files I have uploaded hidden and unavailable to my students who will need to upload images and files in the edit pages. I do not want my students do have access to administrator files and images in the edit pages.
This should be an automatic feature as administrators logically have files and images that they do not want writers to have access to. How can I do this?

Inappropriate?Hi Moja,
You've got some great questions, let's see if I can provide you with some clear answers:
1) Only the password field for Classroom Accounts is case-sensitive, so please make sure that your students' CAPS LOCK setting isn't the cause of failed log-ins. The user name Johnny Doe and johnny doe are both acceptable, since this field isn't case sensitive (just as it isn't for e-mail addresses in the standard account log-in).
2) Unfortunately, because of the special nature of the Classroom Account (it's not connected with an e-mail address), a user name can only be used once. This prevents user name sally smith from the class of 2010 accessing information created by user name sally smith from the class of 2008. However, the "Name" field does allow for multiple instances of the same information, so when you recreate a student's Classroom Account, you can add their name again, you'll just need to give him/her a different user name.
3) If you are currently the owner of a Premium PBwiki, you can create a folder and apply custom folder security so that only you have access. For more details on doing this, please check out this page from our Manual: http://pbwikimanual.pbwiki.com/Folder...
Any files or images stored in a secured folder will not appear in Students' list of Images or Files to insert in the "Insert Links" section of the Editor.
If you are using a free PBwiki, you can click on the "Upgrade" link in the upper-right corner of your wiki to gain access to advanced security features, customization features, and more.
I hope that this information sufficiently answers your questions, but please let me know if there's anything else that I can help you with.
Also, just so that you're aware, you can use the "Help" link in the upper-right corner to contact our Support & Services team for even quicker support.
