Page History

This document will walk you through the process of providing people access to edit the Intranet page and the Alumni Affairs & Giving pages (alumni.cornell.edu & giving.cornell.edu).

Step-by-step guide

In order to provide access to these you will need access to edit the webdav files, and Administrator privileges in Contribute or the connection files for Contribute (.stc file format). You will need to send the connection file but if you do not have it then you can create a new one with the Administrator rights.

1. Adding the user to the webdav –

   The URL for the webdav access is https://webhost066.hosting.cornell.edu:8243/ . You might want to build a “My Tool” for it. If you do not have access to the page, but should, contact Deb Muncey (should I change this to "alumniwebmaster@cornell.edu?) who can work with CIT to issue access to the page. The link should bring you to a page that looks like the image below.

2. Clicking that link should bring you to a page that looks like the following image.

   
3. Click on the “dot access (Access File) Template/Editor”.
4. Another login page will appear that will either look like
   or
   The user name is your netid but you will need to go to https://webhost066.hosting.cornell.edu:8144/davlogin and retrieve the password from that page.
   
   

5. Depending on what site you need to grant access to, the Intranet, Giving, or the Alumni Affairs Page, will change what link you need to click. For the Alumni Affairs page click “alumni”, for the Giving page click “giving” and for the Intranet click “intranet”.

   

    

6. Clicking on one will open to show the .wdaccess file for that site. It shows the path & site name at the top.
   
   
   

7. When you go into the file it should open a page that looks like the image below.
   
   Scroll down in the window (outlined in the image below) until you get to the bottom of the list that starts with “#”. Using the other lines as an example type in “#Firstname Lastname NetID” this is just so people looking at the list know what NetID belongs to who. Once you have done that go to the line that begins with “require netid”. Scroll to the side until you get to the end of the list of NetIDs then add the NetID of the person who needs access to the end of the list.
   
   
   

8. Once you are done adding the information in press “Save” then at the next page select “[done]” and it will return to back to the page where you click “.wdaccess”. You are now safe to close out of the window.
