4.5.1.2 Membership administration

The Members page of a Workspace lets you remove members and invite additional members to this Workspace:

• Select (checkmark) the entries of members you want to remove.
• Click    on the button bar for selected objects

to remove the selected members from this Workspace.

As a side-effect, the selected members are also removed from any Workspace to which they had access only as 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.

• Click    on the top button bar of the Members page

to bring up the 'Add members to Workspace name' 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 clicking    on the top button bar of a Folder page (or a Meeting page or Discussion page) -- no matter if this object is already shared or not.

The Add members to ...' form lets you:

• select new members from your Address book (see section 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);
• enter user names and email addresses into a text field.

If you have selected or entered only valid names of registered users and BSCW groups -- or email addresses that BSCW has associated with registered users -- you need not bother about a personal addendum to the invitation email: no such email will be sent. Registered users or BSCW groups will simply become members of the Workspace as soon as you click

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, which has your user name in the 'From:' field, 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

to actually grant the new members access to the Workspace or 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 HTML-based user interface for these newly registered users (see section 2.3).
