How's it Work?
Confluence is segmented into 'Spaces'. A space can be either world readable or restricted, with varying permission levels, to members of a given group (or set of groups). Each space has an administrative group associated with it. Members of the admin group can control the look and feel of the space and can manage the user group associated with that space.
For instance:
You are currently in the 'Welcome to the Academic Computing Wiki', or 'TOP' space. This space is world-readable, but and permissions are set such that anyone in the group confluence-users (anyone with an account) can add comments.
...
- a valid MIT certificate
and - membership in a Moira group which has been granted access to the space
orOR, for non-MIT users..
- a Confluence username/password account (non-MIT users can register for an account via a link on the username/password login page)
and - membership in the appropriate Confluence group
(which must, for the present, be requested from the administrators)
You must also have cookies and javascript enabled in your browser.
