What is a Wiki Sp=
ace?
A wiki work space is an area inside the Confluence wiki system with:
- separate page name space
- separate permission settings
- possible distinct visual representation / branding
What is a Wiki Spa=
ce good for?
A wiki space can be support a collaborative project where several users =
(or just one) collaboratively create a set of pages, accessed by a number o=
f users - who may be able to just read the pages, comment on them, or modif=
y the content as well.
A wiki space can be useful, e.g., in the following scenarios:
- a collaborative project just among a few researchers
- a departmental collaboration
- a student project
- publishing material for a course (lecturer creates pages, students can =
read and comment)
Who can acc=
ess this Confluence Wiki?
- Anybody with a valid University of Canterbury login
- Anybody with a valid login at any educational or research institution p=
artnering in the Tuakiri Federation.
Note: Being able to log in to the Wiki does not necessarily grant you ac=
cess to all data. Spaces can be restricted, see Wiki Space Permission=
s below.
How do I get a Wiki Sp=
ace?
Request the wiki space via the 'Log a Ticket' link on I=
CT Service Desk.
Have the following information ready for the Service Desk:
- Wiki short name - a persistent identifier, e.g., LIBRSTAFF. Only =
letters and digits allowed.
- Wiki long name - a descriptive name of the project. Up to one line.
- Preferred permission settings (see below).
- Who should be the primary administrator of the space for ongoing permis=
sions and control.
Wiki Space Permissions=
There is a fine-grained permission system. In a simple way, the followin=
g rights
- reading pages
- commenting on pages
- creating and modifying pages
- administration
can be assigned to:
- an individual user (UC or remote)
- a manually configured group of users
- a group defined based on departmental code
- any University of Canterbury user (but not remote users)
- any user with a valid login (including remote users from other universi=
ties)
- anonymous users
The following use cases illustrate what permission=
sets have been found useful
A small p=
roject among a few researchers
- Project leader has all permissions (including adminstration)
- Project participants have full access to all pages (everything but admi=
nistration)
Departmental wiki
- HOD (or someone charged by HOD) has administrative access
- A group created for the department has create/modify/read/comment acces=
s
- Collaborators from other departments may be individually granted access=
.
- The wiki may or may not be readable to all UoC users (including anonymo=
us users).
