Recipient Rights
With Recipient rights, a copy of messages sent to the account are delivered to your Exchange account.
This page applies to people who are "recipients" of a Resource Account's messages. This means that messages sent to the Resource Account are forwarded to their own account. (Our Configure Your Email Client article describes the distinction between Recipient rights and Access rights.)

What EGAs Are For
The examples below illustrate how EGAs can help with various organizational needs.
Capitalize on Name Recognition

There are many ways to work with images in your confluence space. The following are the most common ways:
When you delete a page, Confluence puts that page in your space's trash bin. You can actually restore the page from your trash if you have not specifically deleted it from your space's trash bin as well. To restore a page from trash, select Space Tools > Content Tools and select the Trash…
Each space is created with two default groups:
confluence-[spacekey]-users - for users who have read/write access to content in the space
confluence-[spacekey]-admins - for administrators of the space
If you would like a new group in addition to these two, please request it via the Support…
Space administrators who want to grant another person access to their Confluence space need to access the Manage Users tab. The steps to access the tab may differ depending on the theme being used on the site.
Confluence applies the same security to the recently updated content list on the Confluence dashboard as it does elsewhere, so content that is secured will not show up for users that do not have rights to view it.
(Alternatively: I'm using WebDAV and/or Office Connector. What are the steps to obtain my Confluence password?) To retrieve the Confluence password, go to the Cornell Confluence login screen and click Forgot your password? On the next page, enter your username. For Cornell Weill users and…
Using the Office Connector
The Office Connector plug-in allows you to import Microsoft Office documents into Confluence pages, as well as edit Confluence pages directly from Microsoft Office.

Spaces in Confluence
In Confluence, content is organized into spaces. There are two types of spaces:
There are two ways that you can choose to be notified when content in Confluence is updated.
Watches
Setting a page, blog, or space watch will cause Confluence to send you an email whenever a change is made to the page, blog, or space you're watching.
Creating Tables
In Confluence you can create tables or you can create sections with columns in the page. Both formatting options are very similar except that tables do not allow you to specify widths. Confluence provides instructions on how to add a table to your page.
Common Page Functions
Add a Page
People with the appropriate permissions can add a page by clicking the Create button. By default, a new page will be added as a child of the current page, and the permissions for the new page will be the same as the current page.
Child: A child page is one that has a parent. A child page may also have children pages.
Dashboard: The default homepage for Confluence.
Gaining Access with a Cornell NetID or WCMC CWID
