One: Log in to Confluence at Least Once

Section One is for the people who are to be given access to a space.

People with NetIDs

1. Go to the Confluence login screen. https://confluence.cornell.edu/login.action
2. Log in with your NetID and NetID password.
3. Tell the person who invited you to join this space that you have completed these steps.

You will not have proper access to the space until the administrator completes the steps in section two below for your account.

People with External Confluence Collaborator Accounts

You must have received your External Confluence Collaborator account from the Confluence space administrator before you can complete these steps.

1. Go to the Confluence login screen. https://confluence.cornell.edu/login.action
2. Under Guest collaborators, click Forgot your password. The system will generate a random password and send it to your email address.
3. Use your External Confluence Collaborator account ID and the new password to log in on the Confluence login screen.
4. Tell the person who invited you to join this space that you have completed these steps.

You will not have proper access to the space until the administrator completes the steps in section two below for your account.

Two: Add Users and Permissions

Section Two is for the Confluence space administrator.

1. Log into Confluence and view the space where you want to add the user(s).
2. In the bottom-left corner of the browser window, click Space tools, then select Permissions.
3. In the Individual Users section (in the middle of the screen), click Edit Permissions.
4. Still in the Individual Users section, type the user's NetID or Sponsored GuestID in the empty field at the left, then click Add.
5. On the line that now shows the user you just added, set the various permission levels. A green check means they have the permission. A red X means they do not. See our Set Permissions for a Confluence Space article for a description of each permission.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for additional users as needed.
7. Click Save All when you are finished.

Let your users know that they are all set to collaborate in your space.
