Membership administration

The members’ page of a workspace lets you remove members from 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 user names selected are not affected by this action.

The members’ page of a workspace lets you also invite additional members to this workspace:

•      Choose  File    Access    Invite Member  from the top menu bar to bring up the ‘Invite Mem­ber’ form that lets you specify additional users of the BSCW server who are to be granted access to this workspace.

•      Select persons to be invited and transfer them to the ‘Selected users’ field. You have three possibilities for selection, which you may also combine:

o  type in email addresses or user names,

o  choose new members from your address book or

o  search for BSCW users and choose new members from the search result.

You may also remove entries from the ‘Selected users’ field.

•      Enter a personal invitation message into the ‘Invitation text’ field.

•      Specify the role which the new members are going to play in the workspace in ‘Invite new members as’.

•      Specify in what ‘Invitation language’ the automated part of an invitation message should be sent to users not yet registered.

•      Click [OK] to grant workspace access to the new members and to send off the invita­tion messages.

If you have selected or entered email addresses that BSCW has not yet associated with regis­tered users, BSCW will automatically send an email message to these addresses. This mes­sage, sent on behalf of you, is an invitation to register as a user of your BSCW server. The message will be sent in the language that you have selected, and your personal invitation that you have entered under ‘Invitation text’ will be appended to the standard text.
