Users who are set up as (to be confirmed) Bureaucrats in user rights management can add new users.
- See current list
- for a list of current Wiki user see: User List
Adding a new user
- check if user already exists: User List; if so you are done
- open the Special:CreateAccount page (or go to special pages and click the "Create account" link)
- enter the new username, same as network login (use lowercase - because the login is case sensitive we have had problems with people getting cases just right)
- leave the password fields blank and click checkbox for "Use a temporary random password and send it to the specified email address"
- enter the email address - make sure this is correct, the wiki will use it to send the user a password
- enter the full real name in "Real name (optional)"
- click "Create account" button
- explain to new user that they now have a wiki account and direct them to Category:Wiki use
- create a page for the user, usually copy content of most similar user to the page and edit
- for data collectors or db staff add a #redirect:[[p:Tina Tenbergen]] to their http://ccmdb.kuality.ca/index.php?title=User:ttenbergen (replace Tina's name and ID with new user's)
- for non-staff, put a brief description of their role with the DB
- copy the user name and open in a new tab Special:Userrights and paste the name there; click "Load user groups" button
- check the checkbox for CCMDB_legit and click the "save user groups" button
For database staff his has to be done for both wikis.
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:
- click here
- alternatively Toolbox, Special pages, User and rights section, user rights management
- enter the new user's name exactly as just set up (copy and paste works best...)
- click edit user groups
- check the box for administrator
- enter a reason why that user needs to be an admin
- click "save user groups"
Deleting a user
