RIT will permanently shut down the RIT Wiki (Confluence wiki) on February 2, 2024. Review the Wiki Shut Down Overview for information on alternative tools, exporting content from the wiki, and other FAQs.
The Invite tool can be used to invite external non-RIT users to your wiki space. For RIT users, please use the Permissions page instead so that the user does not create a duplicate wiki account.

Only Space Administrators have the ability to invite users external to RIT to participate in their space. |
