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 and
• choose remove from the selection menu bar to remove the selected members from this workspace or
• choose  Remove   from the member's action menu to remove single members from this workspace.

As a side-effect, the selected members are also removed from any workspace to which they had access by way of being 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.

• Choose  File    Share    Invite Member   from your main menu bar

to bring up the 'Invite Member' 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 choosing  File    Share    Invite Member   from the main menu bar of a folder page (or a discussion forum) -- no matter whether this object is already shared or not.

The 'Invite Member' 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 personal invitation message into the field 'Invitation text';
• specify the role which the new members are going to play in the workspace in 'Invite new members as' (see section 4.7 on roles and access rights);
• specify in what 'Invitation language' the automated part of an invitation mail should be sent to not yet registered users.
• branch to another form where you may Add users to address book.

  Note:

  If you wish to invite a user who is not contained in your address book, you must first add them to your address book. Use the input field on the form to add login names or email addresses to your address book. When you return to the main form, the new items will be selected for you to invite them as new workspace members. This is done by 'OK'ing the 'Invite Member' form.

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, sent on behalf of you, 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 'OK' to eventually grant the new members access to the workspace and 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 web based user interface for these newly registered users (see section 2.3).
