CHM IT - CHM/Research Drive User Access - Adding or Removing Administrators via Manifest Lists
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.

Before you add an administrator, make sure you're familiar with the process of logging into Manifest and adding normal users. We have a walkthrough here: https://kb.wisc.edu/chm/129690
Adding an administrator to your Manifest
Administrators have the ability to add or remove NetIDs from your manifest list, and thus grant or remove access to folders in research/restricted/CHM drive. Having an admin is a good idea if you have a study with a lot people needing access - for example, adding and removing student workers from a study folder.
To add an administrator, open the "-admin" manifest list in your group. Navigate to the "privileges" tab and click on "add privilege"
- Enter the NetID of the person in the "add individual privilege" box.
- Click on "add individuals"
- After clicking, the "privileges to add" area will appear. Choose whatever level you deem appropriate ("Admin" allows for all privileges - read, write, delete, update, etc.)
- Hit Save
That's it! This person is now an admin of your manifest lists and can now add and remove people!
