Entomology, Plant Pathology, and Forest & Wildlife lab group PIs and designees.
Manifest is a web-based application used to manage user accounts and privileges for lab IT resources such as Russell Labs VPN, Lab Storage, or printing.
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Group | Corresponds to lab groups, e.g. Bent_Lab. |
Member | Members (aka users) are assigned to groups. Members must have a NetID from UW-Madison, or get one. |
Colleague Outside Your Department | A colleague who does not have a current appointment within your department. |
Privileges | Authorization to access specific lab IT resources. |
A member must have an Active NetID at UW-Madison before you can add them to a group in Manifest.
Colleagues outside your department fall into three groups:
Group | Examples | How to Grant People in This Group Privileges |
---|---|---|
1. Colleagues that currently have a NetID. | Someone with a current appointment within your department Someone at UW-Madison who has an appointment in another department Someone at UW-Madison who has a zero-dollar appointment |
The lab PI or designee can give the person access to the drive yourself via Manifest, as long as you know their NetID. See Section 2.1 below, How to Add Members to a Lab Group. |
2. Colleagues that once had a NetID. | Someone who was once an employee at UW-Madison Someone who was once enrolled as a student at UW-Madison Someone who once had an appointment (including a zero-dollar appointment) at UW-Madison |
If the colleague once had a NetID, they can contact help@russell.wisc.edu or the DoIT Help Desk to confirm it. Russell IT will need at least two of the following pieces of information: First Name, Last Name, wisc.edu email address, or SIS emplID. Once that information is confirmed, the lab PI or designee can grant them privileges via Manifest. See Section 2.1 below, How to Add Members to a Lab Group. |
3. Colleagues that never had a NetID. | Someone outside UW-Madison working at a company, a non-profit, or another university | Contact help@russell.wisc.edu so they can walk you through the process. Russell IT will need to verify that there is not a dormant NetID out there for the person. Once that's complete, the lab PI or designee can follow the instructions on this webpage - https://kb.wisc.edu/iam/page.php?id=27789 to use the Invite feature of Manifest. Invites send the person a NetID activation link. When clicked, the link activates the person's new NetID and adds them to the group. |

Learn how to add, change, and remove privileges for a group member.
Once you have added a member to your lab group, you need to assign privileges to control what a member can see and do within your group in Manifest.
Russell IT strongly recommends delegating update access to another member of your lab as a backup.
