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.

Adding a new user

1. in the TOOLBOX menu towards the bottom left side of the screen, click on the special pageslink .
2. from the list of items on special pages, click on the login/create account link.
3. on this page, click on the create an account link. (in blue) (here)
4. • 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
5. 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:

1. click on Special pages, user rights management (close to the bottom), or click here
2. enter the user name exactly as just set up
3. click edit user groups
4. select Sysops and approved under "available groups" (click on one, then the ctrl-button, and then click the other)
5. click "save user groups"
