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.
A. Adding a new user
- in the TOOLBOX menu towards the bottom left side of this screen, click on the Special pages link or click here .
- from the list of items on special pages, click on the login/create account link or click here
- on this page, click on the create an account or (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.
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 new user's 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"
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 here
- enter the user name exactly as just set up
- click edit user groups
- select any entries on right side under the "Member of" column (click on one, then the ctrl-button, and then click any others)
- click "save user groups"
