View source for 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. 
*when adding a new user, '''A & B below''' must be completed.
*see [[Special:Listusers]]

==A. Adding a new user ==
# in the TOOLBOX menu towards the bottom ''left'' side of this screen, click on the '''Special pages''' link ''or'' [[Special:Specialpages | click here]] .
#from the ''list of items'' on special pages, click on the '''login/create account''' link ''or'' [[Special:Userlogin | click here]]
#on this page, click on the '''create an account''' ''or'' ([https://ltc.umanitoba.ca/wikis/ccmdb/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup click here]) 
#  
#* 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.

==B. 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 [[Special:Userrights | here]]
# enter the new user's name exactly as just set up
# click '''edit user groups'''
# select '''approved''' under "available groups" (click on one, then the ctrl-button, and then click the other option if necessary)
# click "save user groups"
*items dont't visibly move to member of box until after you press SAVE and go back into EDIT, then you will see that the choices made have been saved.  

== Deleting a user ==
Because the account is used to track changes in the history of any article edited by a user, a user can not be deleted. However, a user's rights can be '''suspended'''. 
To suspend rights for a user, 
# click on '''Special pages''', '''user rights management''' (close to the bottom), or click [[Special:Userrights | here]]
# enter the user name exactly as it was set up
# click '''edit user groups'''
# select any entries on '''"left" side''' under the  '''"Member of"''' column (click on all items listed by holding the ctrl-button to select each one. )
# click "save user groups"

This will have removed the user's rights. If you want to check that the user's rights have been deleted, go through the same steps as above; if there is nothing list under '''"Member of",''' which is the "'''left'''" side of column, the user has been disabled.
