Users who are set up as (to be confirmed) Bureaucrats in user rights management can add new users.
- Currently, Admin account, Trish Ostryzniuk and Tina Tenbergen can add new users.
Adding a new user
- in the TOOLBOX menu towards the bottom left side of the screen, click on the (| Specialpages link) .
- from the list of items on special pages, click on the login/create account link.
- on this page, click on the (| create an account) link.
-
- enter the new username (use lowercase - because the login is case sensitive we have had problems with people getting cases just right)
- don't enter the password or retype password
- Enter the real name and email address
- click by email
This will send an email to the user that tells them how to login.
Setting Rights for a new user
In order to be able to write to the wiki, a user has to be set up as "Sysop" in user rights management. To do this:
- click on Special pages, user rights management (close to the bottom), or click here
- enter the user name exactly as just set up
- click edit user groups
- select Sysops and approved under "available groups" (click on one, then the ctrl-button, and then click the other)
- click "save user groups"
