CHM IT - CHM/Research Drive User Access - Adding or Removing Users via Manifest Lists
Adding/Removing Users to the CHM/Research/Restricted Drive - Manifests!
FOR RESTRICTED DRIVE: Previously, PIs were able to add users to manifest lists themselves.
DoIT has asked us to discontinue allowing PIs to add users directly to their manifest lists for restricted drive (or folders within).
Going forward, if you have a new or existing user who needs access to your restricted drive (or a specific folder within), please:
- Email help@chm.wisc.edu and CC the person in question
- Let us know the NetID of the person who needs access (i.e. the first part of their @wisc.edu email address)
- Let us know if the person needs access to a specific folder or just your restricted drive in general
- CONFIRM that the person has a CHM-ISSUED LAPTOP OR DESKTOP. (i.e. “I’ve confirmed that Robert “Bob” Bobbinson has a CHM-issued laptop”)
This should NOT affect anyone who currently has access to your restricted drive. This is only for new adds/removes.

ADDING A USER
To add a user to a CHM drive folder (i.e. “admin”, “RSC”, “CHM-VIS”, or a study folder) you need to add their NetID to a manifest list. The manifest list is what controls access to these folders, and is typically set up by IT staff when the folder is created.
If you are using Research/Restricted drive, bear in mind that manifest groups to lock down folders are NOT created automatically! By default, unless you SPECIFICALLY lock down a folder, anyone in your "lab" manifest list will have access to all non-locked-down folders!
For more info, see: CHM IT - Research/Restricted Drives and Manifest Lists - Who has access to what?
To access manifests you administer, go to: https://manifest.services.wisc.edu/
Log in with your NetID and password. Click on “My Groups” in the left-hand column, then select “groups I administer.
Provided you’ve been added as an administrator to a group (or groups), you should see them listed here. If you do not have administrative access to a list you own, please email help@chm.wisc.edu.
Click on the “details” button on the right-hand side to open up the group.
After opening the group, make sure the “members” tab is currently being shown. If not, click on it to navigate to the members area. Click “add member” to add a new member to the group:
In the dropdown that appears, add the person’s NetID (NOT BRAIN IMAGING ID!!) into the “add individual members” box. DO NOT USE THE “ADD GROUP MEMBER BOX!” Click on the “add individual(s)” button. If the NetID is correct, they should appear in a small box below. Click the red “Save” button at the bottom to add them to the manifest list.
REMOVING A USER
To remove a member from a manifest group, simply navigate to the “members” tab of a manifest that you control, and click the “remove” button next to a user you wish to remove!
