Setting up a new wiki user

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.

• for a list of current Wiki user see: User List
• if you are a new wiki user, see Wiki Usage category and check out various related articles to get you started.

Adding a new user

1. click this link to open the "Create Account" page
   • alternatively, access via Toolbox, Special Pages, Log in / create account, "Create an account" link
2. enter:
   • the new username (use lowercase - because the login is case sensitive we have had problems with people getting cases just right)
3. enter password
   • the email address - make sure this is correct, the wiki will use it to send the user a password
   • leave the password fields blank (wiki will deal with this)
4. click by email
5. create a page for the user, usually copy content of most similar user to the page and edit
6. add a #redirect:Tina Tenbergen to their http://ccmdb.kuality.ca/index.php?title=User:ttenbergen (replace Tina's name and ID with new user's)
7. copy the user name and go to Special:Userrights and paste the name there; click "Edit user groups" button
8. check the checkbox for "CCMDB_legit" and click the "save user groups" button

For administrator users only

Only if the new user needs to be able to create accounts on the wiki the user has to be set up as "administrator" in user rights management. To do this:

1. click here
   • alternatively Toolbox, Special pages, User and rights section, user rights management
2. enter the new user's name exactly as just set up (copy and paste works best...)
3. click edit user groups
4. check the box for administrator
5. enter a reason why that user needs to be an admin
6. click "save user groups"
