Sharing

At some point during the creation of your Site, you will want to share it with others.

Permissions

There are options to allow different rights or permissions over the Site:

• Viewers can:
  • Only view pages
• Collaborators can:
  • Create, edit, delete pages
  • Move pages
  • Add attachments
  • Add comments
  • Add/remove pages to the sidebar navigation
  • Subscribe to site and page changes
• Owners can:
  • Invite other owners, collaborators or viewers
  • Change site themes and layout
  • Change the site name
  • Delete the site
  • Do everything a collaborator can do

Invite people

In Site view (i.e. while viewing a page, not editing it) choose the Site settings button and then Share this site.

Now you have a dialogue where you can enter the email address of people who you would like to give some permission to view the site or more.

Choose the level of permission that you want to allow and then enter the email addresses of the appropriate people. You can add more than one person - just separate their addresses with a comma. When you start to enter someones address who is a student (if you are a student) or a member of staff (if you are a member of staff) then possible options will be displayed from the built in contacts list. If the name you want isn't there, just type it all in.

Advanced Permissions

Sites at Waikato belong to either the Staff domain or the Student domain so the message in the Advanced permissions section will vary according to your role. You can let all the other people in your domain either View or Edit the site. Tick the box by the first option and select the appropriate option in the view / edit drop down box.

You can also make your Site public, able to be viewed by anyone who knows the web address for it. Again, tick the appropriate box to allow this. Your Site is now published but this group of people cannot edit your Site. If you want to allow external people to edit your Site, you must add their email address to the Invite people section.
