4.5.1.2 Membership administration
The members page of a workspace lets you remove members and
invite additional members to this workspace:
- select the entries of members you want to remove and
choose | remove |
from the selection menu bar
to remove the selected members from this workspace or
-
choose
Access
Remove
from the member's action menu to remove single members from this workspace.
As a side-effect, the selected members are also removed from
any workspace to which they had access by way of being members
of this workspace.
All other workspaces, your address book and the address books
of other registered users that may include the selected user names
are not affected by this action.
- Choose File
Access
Invite Member
from your main menu bar
to bring up the 'Invite Member'
form. It lets you specify additional users of the BSCW server
that are to be granted access to this workspace.
- Note:
- You bring up the same form by choosing
File
Access
Invite Member
from the main menu bar of a folder page (or a discussion forum) --
no matter whether this object is already shared or not.
The 'Invite Member' form lets you:
- select users to be invited:
- Type in email adresses or user names
- choose new members from your
address book (see 4.5.2)
whose content is displayed as a list of three types
of entries, each sorted alphabetically: pending users (top of
the list), registered users and BSCW groups (bottom of the list);
- Search for BSCW users
- enter personal invitation message into the field 'Invitation text';
- specify the role which the new members are
going to play in the workspace in 'Invite new members as'
(see 4.7 on roles and access rights);
- specify in what 'Invitation language' the automated part of an invitation mail
should be sent to not yet registered users.
If you have selected or entered email addresses that BSCW has
not yet associated with registered users, BSCW will automatically
send an email to these email addresses. This email, sent on behalf of
you, is an invitation to register
as a user of the BSCW server. You may select the language of this
email and you may enter a personal addendum to the standard text,
that will be sent to all invitees.
- Click [OK] to eventually grant the new members access to the workspace and
to mail out the invitations.
- Note:
- The language that you select in this form for the invitational
email will also initially be used by BSCW in its web based user
interface for these newly registered users (see section
2.3), if the browser doesn`t send language information.
