Prerequisites

• The lab group must exist, and you must have admin access to it
• You must know the name of the lab group
• You must have the NetID’s of the members you wish to add to the group
• You must have the email address for any University affiliates you want to add to the group
• You must use a supported web browser (https://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=3214)

2.1 Add Members to a Lab Group

2.1a Add People Who Currently Have a NetID (people within your department, colleagues outside your department)

If any of the NetIDs you enter in step 4 are invalid, you will not be able to click the button in step 5 until you correct the problem NetIDs.

1. Log into Manifest and navigate to your lab group space.
2. Click the Members tab.  A list of the current group members appears.
3. Click Add Members.  A new pane expands to allow you to add members:
   
4. Enter all the NetIDs you wish to add separated by commas in the Add individual members box.
5. Click + Add individuals.  The screen changes and the NetIDs appear under Members to add.
6. Click Save.  The Add members pane closes, and the new members you added now appear in the Members pane.

2.1b Add Colleagues Outside the Department Who Once Had a NetID

Have the colleague contact help@russell.wisc.edu or the DoIT Help Desk to confirm they once had a NetID, and what the NetID is.

Russell IT will need at least two of the following: First Name, Last Name, wisc.edu email address, or SIS emplID.

Once those steps are complete, the lab PI or designee can follow the steps in 2.1a.

2.1c Add Colleagues Outside the Department Who Never Had a NetID

Contact help@russell.wisc.edu so we can walk you through the process. 

Russell IT will need to verify that there is not a dormant NetID out there for them. 

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. 

2.2 Remove Members from a Lab Group

1. Log into Manifest and navigate to your lab group space.
2. Click the Members tab.  A list of the current group members appears.
3. Locate the members you would like to delete.  
4. Click the checkboxes next to the member's names.
5. Click Remove Selected Members.  The names of the members disappear from the list.

Overview

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.

Best Practice

Russell IT strongly recommends delegating update access to another member of your lab as a backup.
