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.
Only Space Administrators have the ability to invite users external to RIT to participate in their space.
Accessing
To access the Invite Plugin, go to Browse -> Space Admin. Under the Security category on the left, you will see two options:
If you want to invite a new user to your space, click on "Invite Users".
Usage
You can use the field on the left labeled "Email Addresses" to create a list of all the users you want to have access to the space. You should only enter one address per line, up to 50 addresses.
You can use the field on the right to customize the text in the invitation message that will go out to all of the invited users.
If you have created groups in your space using the "Manage Users/Groups" section in Space Admin, you may also select the group that the invited users will become members of after they accept the invitation. To do this click on "EDIT" and check off the groups you want them to be enrolled in. This will allow you to define the permissions that the users will have in your space.
After those steps are completed, click the "Preview Invitation" button. Use this screen to verify that your invitation message is correct. This page will also let you know how many invitations will be sent. If you need to go back and modify something, simply press the "Re-edit" button. If everything looks like it is ready to send, click the "Send" button.
When users receive the invitation email, they will need to click the first link in the message. This link contains a special token that will allow them to authenticate and create a user account on the wiki. Once they have done this, they should have access to the space.
