People Directory

The People Directory is a means to create profiles of WSU faculty and staff with their Net ID (butch.cougar) for websites. It is often used for faculty and staff directory pages on a website.

Get Access

Submit a web support ticket to request editing access to the People Directory. Specify the access level from the options below.

Access Levels

  • Unit Admin: Edit all profiles assigned to a specific University Organization
  • Profile Owner: Only their specific profile

Editing Profiles

While we are transitioning from the current People Directory to the new People Directory, Edit a profile in Classic Editor.

Understanding Unit Admin Access Level

The Unit Admin access level gives editing permission to profiles for a specific university organization. We designate this when a user’s access is granted to the People Directory website.

Adding a New Profile

Make sure to add the University Organization to a new profile before saving and leaving the page.

Unable to See a Profile?

Whether a profile is missing the university organization or the profile has a different university organization, only a user’s designated university organization profiles are available to the user.


If missing access to a profile, submit a web support ticket to request editing access to the People Directory.
