Help:Adding Bay Team editors

From BayTeam

To add a Bay Team user to this wiki with the ability to edit pages:

1. Log in as an administrator (sysop).
2. Check whether the person already has a login, using Special:Listusers. (Can also get here by clicking Special pages in left toolbox at any time.)
3. Go to Special:Userlogin. ( or go directly to sign-up page: http://www.bayteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup and skip the next step)
4. Click Create account.
5. Enter:
   • username - first initial and last name (e.g., jsmith).
   • password - same as username (Although automated email will generate & send a random p/w to user, if for some reason they don't get the email, you'll know what the p/w is.)
   • e-mail - Bay Team email address (e.g., jsmith@bayteam.org), not outside address.
   • real name (E.g., Joe Smith).
6. Click By email. This sends notification to the user.
7. Go to Special:Userrights.
8. Type the new username (e.g., jsmith) and click Edit user groups.
9. Select "btm" in the Available groups column and save the changes.
10. I then always send a separate email to the person telling them that I've done it and that they should have received an automated email.
