Important Notes
RIT Accounts and Permissions
| Remarque | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Users with RIT Computer Accounts must log in to the wiki at least once before they will be available for a Space Admin to add them to permissions, restrictions, or groups. Ask your user to go to http://wiki.rit.edu and use the Log In link found to the upper-right of the page. Once a user has logged for the first time, their RIT Computer Account will be imported and they can then be added by a Space Admin to permissions, restrictions, and groups. If you requested a Course wiki space, special groups were added to the permissions on your wiki to grant access automatically to the instructors and students in the Registrar's records as they log in for the first time. This information is updated once each morning ~5:00am Eastern. |

Faculty and Staff can invite guests who do not have an RIT Computer Account to create an account on the RIT Wiki. Once the user has created their account and given you their username, you will be able to add them to your wiki space following these steps below. |

Accessing Permissions
A wiki space administrator can give users access to their wiki with the Permissions tool in the Space Admin / Space Tools.
How to access these tools depends on the theme your wiki space is using.
| Space Tools | Space Admin |
|---|---|
If your theme has the Confluence Sidebar enabled, you will see the Space Tools button at the very bottom of the page if you are an administrator of that wiki space. Clicking the Space Tools button will show a menu, select Permissions from the menu.
| If your theme has the Browse menu in the navigation bar, you will see a Space Admin link there if you are an administrator of that wiki space.
On the Space Administration screen, select Permissions in the sidebar.
|
If you are an Admin on a wiki space and you do not see either Space Tools or the Browse > Space Admin option, your space is may be using an out of date theme or has been customized by one of your space admins accidentally leaving out off this access, contact Academic Technology Support for assistance in getting access.
