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.

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. The link will send the user to fill out the following form:
Once they have done this and clicked, "Sign Up" they will have just viewing access to the space.

After they do the "Sign Up" tell the person to e-mail the administrator of the page the user name they entered in the form when they signed up, and then you can add them to your Wiki page by:
