Managing GroupsCreating and managing Moira lists for wiki access and administrationThe recommended practice is to use at least two lists for your wiki space. One list should contain regular users of the space, and the others should contain space administrators. Members of the MIT community can create Moira lists at: http://wserv.mit.edu/lc/

title | When creating lists.. |
---|
| - Create "traditional" Moira lists, not Mailman lists
- You must be a member of any list you create for use in your wiki space
- Name your Moira list(s) confluence-<something>, e.g. confluence-mygroup. A Moira list named 'confluence-mygroup' will map to the wiki group 'mygroup'.
- All Moira lists must also be AFS groups. This is important. Be sure to check the appropriate checkbox.
- Create an admin list for the space. Include yourself in it, and make it a self-administered list (set the listowner to be the list itself).
e.g. confluence-mygroup-admin - Create the user-level list for the space. Make the owner of this list admin group you just created.
e.g. confluence-mygroup - Non-MIT users should be added to Moira lists as type 'string'.
- Groups with names that do not start with 'confluence-' will not be included in the feed and corresponding wiki groups will not be created.
- Manage your new Moira list at:

Using Existing Moira lists and Stellar class lists.If you have existing lists you'd like to use for wiki access, you can do so. Note |
---|
| - Be sure that the lists are AFS groups.
- Be sure that you are a member of each group you wish to use.
- You can create a container group in order to get existing groups into the feed. For example, if you have an existing group named 'mygroup', you can make that group a member of another group, e.g. confluence-mygroup, for purposes of associating the group with the wiki.
- The Registrar's office auto-populates Moira lists corresponding to the class membership. These lists can be useful if no Stellar site exists for a class. Contact the Accounts group (accounts@mit.edu) for more information.
- Stellar class lists can be used for access to a class wiki space. Contact confluence-hq@mit.edu for more information.
| Adding your groups to Initiating your group(s) in ConfluenceA periodic feed populates Confluence with the groups you have created in Moira. Once your groups have been picked up by the feed, space administrators can use them to control access to your space within Confluence. In your wiki space, go to.. :
- -> Permissions
- Click edit permissions and add your groups under the 'Groups' heading. Add permissions as appropriate.
If you find that the group is not found, click on 'Update My Memberships' and try again.
Giving group members access to your spaceOnce you have initiated the group and set permissions for it in the space, instruct members of the groups to do the following: |
