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 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:
- type in email addresses or user names,
- choose new members from your address book (see 4.5.2),
- search for BSCW users and choose new members from the search result, or
Note:
If an LDAP directory has been installed on your BSCW server, the ‘Invite Member’ form lets you also search this LDAP directory for users that you want to invite. Ask your system administrator.
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’ (see 4.7 on roles and access rights).
Specify in what ‘Invitation language’ the automated part of an invitation message should be sent to users not yet registered.

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.

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

Note:: The language that you select in this form for the invitational message will initially be used by BSCW as user interface language for these newly registered users (see 2.3) if their browsers do not send language information.
